Artwork Description

About this calligraphy painting

Babak Rashvand’s Epigraph series explores the intersection between traditional calligraphy and contemporary painting. The series stems from his early passion for both visual art and classical script. 

It transcends Persian and Arabic calligraphic rules, transforming letters into freeform, expressive visual elements. These dynamic forms often resemble dancing figures, fluid and alive across the canvas.

Rashvand uses gold, silver, and metallic hues to create luminous, layered compositions. His work plays with light and color to achieve a multidimensional visual effect. Each painting glows with movement, rhythm, and the shimmer of carefully chosen tones.

The Epigraph series showcases Rashvand’s innovative approach to abstraction and spiritual form. His process begins with an intuitive, tactile connection to the canvas. This interaction becomes a kind of creative dance before the first mark is made. 

Each composition bridges structure and spontaneity, much like musical improvisation. Traditional calligraphic motifs appear, but are reinterpreted through contemporary technique and gesture. The result is a visual language that feels ancient and modern at once.

Rashvand began his artistic career early under the guidance of his father. Over time, he developed a unique voice that blends heritage with experimental form. His work has appeared in major exhibitions like Context Art Miami and Abu Dhabi Art. Pieces from his collections are held in museums and royal collections worldwide.

Often described as "visual poetry," Rashvand’s art fuses modern aesthetics with cultural roots. His paintings invite viewers to feel the rhythm, history, and emotion within each stroke. The Epigraph series captures that fusion of tradition, movement, and inner vision.
