Our calligraphic society is growing all the time. One more calligrapher joined the project. Bahman Panahi, a calligrapher and musician from Iran, now lives in Paris. “I am continually struck by how simple letters can come alive; they transport me into a dream world. For me, they are like the notes in music; they are my means of travel to this fantasy world”, he said.
Calligraphy and music harmoniously combine in Bahman Panahi’s creative activity.
A prominent calligrapher, participant of a number of exhibitions, president of the Lines and Points Art and Culture Association (Paris), member of the French House of Artists, he simultaneously takes part in a UNESCO programme entitled “The Melody for Dialogue Among Civilizations”, participates with in various performances with orchestras, gives solo concerts.
Calligraphy is a remedy and mental gymnastics.
