“When you look at beautiful forms of calligraphy, you have a familiar and clear feeling from the contact with the understandable, close and easily perceived art. These feelings are based on the graphic harmony that is similar in its essence to a musical melody, which naturally and simply finds emotional repercussions in us, where different components combine: a musical topic, composition, orchestration etc. Calligraphy, just as any art, can be demonstrably simple and understandable to everybody but can also be multidimensional and complicated, requiring special training”.
