Areej Alsalem – Calligrapher

Writing, from the dawn of history until today, has been and remains a living witness to human civilizations. Between its lines, the fragrance of history and the features of progress are revealed. At the heart of this legendary journey, Arabic calligraphy emerged, becoming more than just a means of communication; it is an art that tells the story of a great civilization that stretched from the borders of China to the depths of West Africa. This ancient art, which Ibn Khaldun referred to in his 'Muqaddimah' as 'a noble craft that distinguishes humans from others,' is not just writing but a visual language that combines beauty and meaning. Arabic calligraphy is known for being a stunning design of Arabic letters, characterized by continuous connection in writing, allowing for the creation of unique geometric patterns such as repetition, extension, intertwining, angularity, curvature, and composition. These artistic formations have transformed Arabic script into a living work of art. And that's not all—Arabic calligraphy is closely linked to Arabic ornamentation, where artists excelled in using it to decorate palaces and mosques, beautify books and manuscripts, especially copies of Quranic verses, making Arabic calligraphy an eternal symbol of elegance and beauty in Islamic civilization.
