Ali Shirazi

Shirazi is known as the best scripter of the Nastaliq style of calligraphy in the region. Calligraphy in his practice is instantaneous, spontaneous and expressive. Mastering classical calligraphy for over 35 years had given Karam Ali Shirazi the skill to move forward and break boundaries by exploring new means to fulfil his creative desires. He first demonstrated his improvisation style in a series of calligraphy - paintings (acrylic on canvas) in 1994 in Barg Gallery in Tehran. A year later these artworks were published in an album called Ghasedak.
