Calligraphy work in Kashmir these days is being noticed, as youngsters, particularly girls, in every nook and corner here have been showing overwhelming interest in the art form ever since the lock down was first imposed.
Nayyer Iqbal, a young girl from Tral in South Kashmir who is the author of the book “Belief”, has been experimenting with calligraphy work. She has been inclined towards the arts since she was ‘six years’ old.
She said that she has learned a lot while working on projects pertaining to calligraphy art, and has spent much of her time in learning and improving on this art form during the covid-19 lock down.
“Recently I made some customized frames on my customers’ request. I always learn something whenever I complete a project. New ideas strike my mind about how I can make my next projects better and more beautiful,” Iqbal said. “As I said I’ve started calligraphy in lock down so I didn’t find anyone who could help me with learning nor did I find any video on YouTube that could actually help, so I started on my own and tried imitating some already made projects,” she explained, adding that she made mistakes the first time she tried calligraphy but she, “has practiced a lot and is doing better with the help of Allah.”
