Description: This contemporary Kufic calligraphy painting is inspired by the opening of Saadi’s Golestan, one of the most important works of classical Persian literature:

«منت خدای را عزّ و جلّ که طاعتش موجب قربت است و به شکر اندرش مزید نعمت»

The text is written in Kufic calligraphy across the central area of the canvas, while the upper and lower sections are covered with gold leaf. The luminous gold creates a strong visual contrast with the calligraphic text and gives the composition a sense of radiance and spiritual presence.

By placing a classical Persian literary text within a contemporary Kufic structure and combining it with gold leaf, the work brings together Persian literary heritage, calligraphic tradition, and contemporary visual abstraction. The gold surrounding the text also reinforces the theme of gratitude and divine grace expressed in Saadi’s words.
