Since my early childhood I have always been interested in how arabic letters looked on the letters my mother wrote and Quranic verses my dad read and specially in the artwork on the walls I found inside my local mosque . My work has involved the creation of conceptually based traditional abstract calligraphy.In 2006 I came up with my own Arabic fonts , ones that were very organically personalized to all what I have been influenced by while growing up. Text and language has become a very prominent feature in my work and I continue to use the various fonts I have came up with in all my work . My work, addresses Arabic calligraphy as an art form to modern readers it shows them how to identify, understand and appreciate its varied styles and modes. My work also offers a standardized terminology for describing various styles of Islamic calligraphy. It also helps Westerners appreciate why Arabic calligraphy has long been so important in Islamic civilization. It also highlights the influence of the contemporary artists in the Islamic world and how they draw on the heritage of calligraphy to use calligraphic inscriptions or abstractions.
