“The farsi style conveys the fundamentality of thought and melody of the language in musical and beautiful way. Isn’t it wonderful! I am venerating any kind of calligraphy, be it Oriental, European or Islamic. Calligraphy is the reflection of our hearts, mind and culture. CALLIGRAPHY is the tutor guiding us through the path of beauty and harmony”.
