Calligraphic Compositions
Arabic & Islamic Art

by Fayeq Oweis, Ph.D.

الدكتور فائق عويس

Combining Traditional Arabic Calligraphy and Islamic Art with Computer Graphics applications, these images provide a new development in Islamic arts in general and in the use of Arabic script in particular. Most of these pieces start with a sketch or traditional calligraphy, then modified using computer applications. Each image is later printed on canvas or paper at any size. The theme of these images is creating geometric patterns and shapes using Arabic words and letters.
