"I use calligraphy as a pictorial means, and not solely as a traditional writing system. My goal is to reach a plastic interpretation of the written word. This is how I see the progress of contemporary art in the Islamic world."

We are proud to present two remarkable 1970's calligraphic works on paper by Charles Hossein Zenderoudi from his artistic prime.

Inspired by ancient Iranian talismans and written offerings at shrines, these pieces are reminiscent of Sufi charts, numeral tables, and codes. The artist's calligraphy is a masterful display of his skill, capturing the essence of these ancient art forms while infusing them with his signature style.

The vibrant colors used in the works are a hallmark of Zenderoudi's artistic prowess. His unique approach to color and form is showcased in every stroke of the pen, making these pieces truly remarkable.

Zenderoudi's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, cementing his place as one of the most influential artists of his time. These works on paper are not only visually stunning but also offer a glimpse into the artist's cultural heritage and spiritual traditions.
