Furqana Altaf, A calligraphy artist planning to teach calligraphy to the students
Who is Furqana Altaf ?
Furqana Altaf, a management student had recently completed her graduation.
Furqanan Altaf, a self-taught Calligraphy Artist from the beautiful Valley Kashmir. She doesn't hold any degree in this particular field neither does she belong to an artistic family/background, but she was always interested in art and her mother always motivated her.
The first time she did calligraphy was two years ago. She also does mandala artwork, crafting and bit photography. She has also taken part in calligraphy competitions.
Talking about how this journey started
It started all of an unexpectedly during lockdown when she first tried my hand on this beautiful work.
After creating a couple of wonderful artworks then she started her page on Instagram with the name @calligrapher.sf.
While speaking to AUYK Blogs, she said " My friends and family favoured me there as well. I don't use any fancy pens(Qalms) I do it with simple pens
I never really thought wittingly about the choice of my style, whatever I write I write that in my calligraphy style. I mostly write the words from our HOLY BOOK "QURAN" And the names of people"
Her work is an attempt to demonstrate the impact of handwritten words.
As an artist, she is always working hard to develop artwork that speaks both to her and others about the beauty of calligraphy.
In future, she is deciding to go for a professional course that will help her and enhance her work. After that, she is thinking of teaching students about this beautiful art.
"I BELIEVE THAT ART IS CHANGING THE WORLD AND I'M PART OF THIS GLOBAL BEAUTIFUL PROCESS"
