Persian calligraphy artwork by Somayeh Gholami

Description: This contemporary Persian calligraphy painting is created on a 100 × 70 cm canvas, with the surface filled with words and letterforms rendered in gold leaf.

The golden calligraphy emerges against a background of green and yellow tonalities, creating a luminous and layered visual field. The density of the words transforms the canvas into an interconnected network of Persian letterforms, where writing becomes both language and image.

The contrast between the metallic gold and the shifting green-yellow background gives the composition a sense of depth and movement. The work reflects my contemporary approach to Persian calligraphy, using letters as visual elements to explore rhythm, texture, light, and abstraction.
