I first learned Persian calligraphy in elementary school. Our teacher, Mr. Baratpour, would cut a nib on the traditional reed pen — the qalam ney — and inscribe a line of poetry at the top of the page. Our task as students was to do our best to copy the two half-lines of poetry over and over again down the page. We made an awful mess of splattered ink and shaky lines. The classical poets — Hafiz, Ferdowsi, Sa’adi, Rumi and Rudaki — survived the assault of fifth grade students. Many years of practice later I could claim to be writing actual “khoshkhat-e Farsi.”
My work has been featured worldwide in books, magazines, websites and exhibitions. I have created thousands of calligraphic designs for logos, book design, television shows, websites, weddings, certificates, jewelry, monograms, body art and architectural installations. I am familiar with the calligraphic traditions for the various linguistic, regional, historic and contemporary styles of Arabic script as used in Persian and Farsi calligraphy.
Styles include Nasta’liq, Shekasteh, Naskh, Kufic, Thuluth, Maghrebi, Riqa, Tahqiq, Reyhan, Sols, Toqi, Reqa, as well as freeform, unique, and contemporary calligraphy styles.
Translation Services
I am able to provide translation services for Persian (Farsi). I work linguistic experts to provide accurate translations into Arabic and Urdu.
Classical Persian Poetry
I receive a great many requests for the original Persian (Farsi) text of poetry by Rumi, Khayyam, Hafiz, Sa’adi, Attar and other classical Persian poets. If I can immediately locate the original text of an English translation I am happy to share that information. If finding the original text takes more research I charge a fee for this service. Contact me if you have an inquiry.
