Pen Dances on the Canvas of Modernity

Qazvin, Iran's capital of calligraphy, has long been a breeding ground for distinguished masters. In recent years, however, innovative styles have opened new horizons for this authentic art. Artists in 'calligraphic painting' (naqqashi-khat), drawing on modern techniques and bringing Persian script onto canvases and urban walls, are offering a fresh take on Persian lettering.

Qazvin, as the capital of Iran's calligraphy, has always been the cradle of the training of prominent teachers, but in recent years, the introduction of innovative styles to this original art has created a new space for the audience, among which artists in the field of "calligraphy" or "line painting" have been able to present a different narrative of Persian calligraphy by using modern techniques and transferring it to canvas and urban walls.
