The role of diacritics, accessories and dots in Arabic script is very important as a factor that unites the components and balances the space.
No one knows what philosophy is behind the continuity of Arabic calligraphy, but what we always see is that calligraphers tried to create the most continuity. Sometimes there is no interruption and everything is connected.
In the oriental culture, the mirror is a symbol of reality and honesty, and in the Islamic culture, it is a spiritual object that reflects light. In Islamic calligraphy, the mirror continued to reflect the same concept and created a unique type of visual.
The letters are as mechanical as a 21st century object, while everything is from about 14 centuries ago! They were far ahead of their time or we are far behind! This is hard to understand!
Here we see a combination of different styles of Arabic calligraphy along with paintings.
Everything at the same time combined, but recognizable!
None of them have been destroyed for the benefit of the other.
Seeing and thinking further.
Inspiration is the most inspiring way to create.
During the era of calligraphy, we witnessed the most profound creations in this field, so that we still use them.
