Rashid Rahnama

I am a Persian calligraphy artist and designer based in Melbourne, creating minimalist black‑and‑white artworks that blend cultural heritage with contemporary visual language. My work explores the emotional architecture of words, the rhythm, silence, and symbolism embedded in Persian script. Each piece is a balance of restraint and expression, shaped by years of design practice and a deep connection to traditional calligraphy. I create artworks for modern interiors, where simplicity, poetry, and cultural memory can coexist on the wall.
