Azra Aghighi Bakhshayeshi
Azra Aghighi Bakhshayeshi is the only professional female calligraphic artist working in Iran. Her work explores the rich aesthetic possibilities inherent in the internal architecture of Persian script. For her, there is beauty not just in the meaning letters express but also in the form and texture of those letters. While Aghighi is inspired by religion (especially early Islamic writings), the heart of her practice is not religious.Date and place of birt: | 1968, Qom, Iran |
