Each letter in every
script known to man holds an eternal power, an individual
beauty in its vertical, horizontal,
angular lines, in their continuity. I have made
efforts to bring forth calligraphy not only as art
form but a expressive
medium where letters in all their nakedness become
alive, vibrating, pulsating with its inherent, shape,
giving
a canvas space to your thoughts, a meaning to the
sounds & actions.
Be it Devnagri or the English scripts, a constant
thirst for knowledge and passion for perfection
continues to give a
special meaning to my quest in Calligraphy. Even
today I say, that I have just begun the journey
towards my destination
and I still have a long way to go. |

EDUCATION
:
G.D Art from Sir J.J. Institute of Applied Art, Mumbai.
1984 Research Scholarship from Ulka
Advertising for thesis on Modi script
(15th to 17th Century).
Ex. Faculty member of Sir J.J. Institute of Applied
Art
1984 Research Scholarship
from Ulka Advertising for thesis on Modi script
(15th to 17th Century) :
''Modi" a specialized
branch of calligraphy that has formed the basis
of the study. This script, which at one time
flourished and enjoyed royal patronage, is now almost
obsolete. The origin of this script and its first
use has been widely debated and researchers have
not arrived at a consensus on whether the script
originated within itself or evolved from contemporary
scripts and languages. Whereas numerous propositions
have been made and hypothesis laid as to its
origin, these fail to satisfy the commonality. The
examples quoted in this study will attest to this
fact. Practice was
done with the objective of reviewing past hypothesis
and proving a fresh outlook on hitherto make conclusions
and
to find for new directions. |
