Tag: Calligraphy

Discover the rich art of Turkish calligraphy, where flowing lines and sacred words turn ink into emotion—not only in Istanbul’s hidden corners, but all across Turkey. From historic mosques and centuries-old madrasas to quiet studios in Konya, Ankara, and Bursa, calligraphy lives at the crossroads of history and creativity.

It’s a tradition born from the Ottoman courts and shaped by Sufi mystics, now reimagined by contemporary artists who blend classical scripts with modern design.
