The art of calligraphy is meticulously revisited and studied by Mouneer AlShaarani emblematic contemporary works. Through the historical and aestethical angle, the artist reveals the rebirth of tradition in modernity. Weaving the old in the new and bridging the gap between the past and the present, AlShaarani transforms the stringency of calligraphy into embellished works of art. Typical of his work, “في الشام مرآة روحي” in reference to Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish (In Damascus lies the mirror of my soul) taken from the poem “In Damascus”.
