Persian calligraphy artwork by Somayeh Gholami

Description: This Persian calligraphy composition on paper is centered on the word “Hoo” (هو), meaning “God” in a spiritual context.

The word is treated as both language and visual form, allowing the calligraphic structure to become the central element of the composition. Through the simplicity of a single sacred word, the work explores the relationship between Persian calligraphy, spirituality, and visual abstraction.

The composition reflects my contemporary approach to calligraphy, in which words can move beyond their literal meaning and become forms of rhythm, balance, and visual expression.
