i am a jordanian artist , calligrapher , painter living with signs of the time , trying to create my own style by making combination between the old traditional values and a new freedom of imagination with intimacy of expression

the classical music of karl phillip emanual bach,joseph hyden , strings of motzart and the marvellous works of zaha hadid , santiago calatrava have inspired my latest works , , , i am believing in international art , and it s message to connect between cultures , , , i have going calligraphy for more than 30 years , , , but the last 5 years were being goen to create my style which combine between arabic , latin add chinees calligraphy , , , the typography is higher than calligraphy , , , i am really depressed from the fauls attempts have been creating by who are not capable for this task . . . i will not surrender till i would create my own fonts
