A Celebration of Arabic Calligraphy

The International Islamic Calligraphy Exhibition in Indonesia is far more than an artistic event: it is a true celebration of spirituality, creativity, and intercultural dialogue. Participating in this global gathering is a unique opportunity to share my vision and works with an enthusiastic audience, in a space where tradition and modernity come together.

My Participation

I had the pleasure of participating in the exhibition with one of my works titled 'Be Coolness and Peace'. This creation is inspired by the famous miracle of the Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), when the fire, by divine will, transformed into coolness and peace, as mentioned in the Qur’an, Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 69.

However, I chose to begin the canvas directly with the expression 'Be Coolness and Peace', not only to illustrate the historical event but also to broaden its meaning to encompass every worry, anxiety, or challenge we may encounter in our daily lives.
