Impressive panel of Nasta'liq calligraphy,

Iran is currently home to a small school of artists and calligraphers that are dedicated to the production of art in the traditional Persian styles of manuscript illumination and calligraphy, executed to an exceptionally high standard and these artists are fast establishing themselves as modern masters of this craft.

This particular example is by Sajad Haghjuoy (b. 1986), an industrial designer by trade, whose mastery of the Safavid style of nasta'liq calligraphy won him an award from IRCICA (Research Centre For Islamic History, Art and Culture) in 2015. Haghjuoy is a student of the modern calligraphic master Mohammad Shahbazi, who works in the same circle as fellow modern masters Abbas Akhvin and Mohammad Reza Pajand.
