Description | This artwork serves as a bridge between past and present, embodying the essence of modern Arabic calligraphy and Islamic geometric art while embracing the fluidity and dynamism of contemporary expressionism. The gestural, free-flowing strokes reference classical Arabic calligraphy but deconstruct it into an abstract form. This reflects the modern trend where artists push beyond traditional legibility, treating letters as visual symbols rather than purely textual elements. The dripping ink and rough textures suggest movement, raw emotion, and spontaneity, contrasting with the traditionally controlled elegance of classical scripts. The subtle underlying grid and intersecting lines echo the mathematical precision of Islamic geometric art. These structured elements create a tension between order and chaos, mirroring the way contemporary artists reinterpret historical patterns in new, expressive ways. |
