As we know each and every person has different hobbies and doing different things which gives them joy.
Ishfaq says that “Calligraphy connects me with God and it is highly respected in the Islamic world. He uses specific tools to create these pieces which may take a few days or months to finish depending upon the mood of the artist,”
He said that it was my passion from my schooldays. I have developed a close kinship with the Lettering and Calligraphy from a very young age. “I gravitated towards calligraphy six years ago and have not looked back. I create art with the strokes of my pen and it has sustained me both spiritually and financially.”
Possessing a collection of beautiful calligraphy canvasses that blend modern art with traditional style, Ishfaq comes from a background that has its roots in the art of papier-mâché. He graduated in Applied Arts from Institute of Music and Fine Arts, Kashmir University in the year 2006.
