Classically trained calligrapher Hassan Massoudy inscribes oversized letters in vibrant colors on paper or canvas to create visually compelling works that bring traditional Arabic script into a contemporary context. Massoudy sources words from Eastern and Western authors, poets and philosophers. He selects a passage, which he writes at the bottom of the canvas or sheet of paper, then extracts a single word, enlarging it to monumental proportions over the surface of the canvas or paper.
In accordance with tradition, Massoudy makes his own tools and inks, but breaks from the Arabic custom of using only black ink by incorporating a bold palette of blues, greens, yellows and reds. Although executed with the utmost control, his letters are gestural, fluid and charged with energy, as he skillfully transforms the written word into a pictorial element.

Fereydoon Omidi - Iranian painter
born in May 1967-Roudbar-Iran
went to art school in Graphic design. In my youth, I began to learn different skills of painting. I went to Azad University, central branch of Tehran in 1989 to continue my education in painting, and since then, I have tried to show my own experience in painting. I received my master degree in painting in 1998, and since then, I have been teaching at the university and along with my own painting.
I love painting and enjoy other arts. Because art can path to a better life, a new quality and refinement of the human spirit which leads to a better quality of one’s life. I can picture my thoughts and imaginations, and since I am an experimentalist, how to use tools and mediums has always been a major concern. Coincidence , is something that I welcome in my works and I love to create an art work which is more exciting, enjoyable and entertaining, and I firmly believe that speed would affect the performance with more special quality.
