Visual arts

  • The image features a beautifully crafted piece of calligraphy, predominantly using shades of blue. The design includes flowing, abstract shapes that suggest movement and grace, creating an artistic representation. At the base, there are colorful, intricate patterns that add richness and detail to the composition. The overall effect is harmonious and visually striking, blending traditional calligraphy with a modern artistic flair. Hassan Massoudy, Calligrapher of Emotions Emma Redondo · July 2022
  • The image depicts a nude figure seated with their back to the viewer, captured in a monochromatic charcoal style. The figure has a slightly turned profile, showcasing a sense of contemplation. The body is rendered with soft, flowing lines, contrasting against the darker, shadowy background. The light appears to create a dramatic play of shadows, emphasizing the contours and curves of the figure. The overall mood is introspective and artistic, focusing on the human form and its relationship with light and darkness. Youssef Abdelke: the Naked Against the Dead Emmanuel Daydé · October 2017
