with the Master Calligrapher Salah Abdel-Khalek
at the Egyptian Cultural Center of Athens
teaching the rouq'a calligraphy.
Master Calligrapher Salah Abdel-Khalek is known as 'the lover of kufi
calligraphy' and the discoverer of its secrets. Abdel-Khalek mastered the kufi
calligraphy, which is the first Arab calligraphy used in writing the Holy
Quran, creating masterpieces for which he received a number of prestigious
local and international awards. He is not only concerned with creating artworks
decorated with the beautiful forms of calligraphy and colours but he is also carrying
over his shoulders the mission of returning to the Arab calligraphy its ancient
glory. In this respect, he is very diligent in organizing calligraphy workshops
and competitions to promote this momentous art among the young generations
protecting the art of Arabic script calligraphy from sinking into oblivion.
