Ayrat Khismatullin

Ayrat is a trained artist with expertise in calligraphy, design and creative writing. Born and raised in the Russian city of Ekaterinburg, Ayrat graduated from art school and then perfected his craft with additional study at the An-Namir Calligraphy Centre of Tatarstan, Russia.

Ayrat’s work is completely unique. His artwork is a representation of both modern and traditional, classical calligraphy presented in bold but atmospheric styles. His compositions and experimentation with colourplay and pattern make his work very distinct, immediately and unquestionably identifiable as Ayrat.
