The artwork of Fadi Balhawan (1966) is so unique that it is almost impossible to find an artist with comparable work anywhere in the world. His art can only truly be understood when seeing it yourself. It is a unique combination of calligraphy with colours transmitting a story behind each piece of art.

As a self-taught artist, the proud father of four rediscovered a devotion to his time-intensive pieces, just like when he was a child. His art is challenging to describe. It combines literature, calligraphy, ink and pens, painting, poems, and even video; finding an artist with comparable work is impossible.

Balhawan transcribes well-known books in Arab literature or spiritual writings on paper or canvas. Looking at his work, one thing becomes evident: it is artistically recreating the text in lines that run in various directions in a beautifully artistic manner. There are various possible interpretations of the text, which is written in different forms, patterns, and figures.

The cutting edge is in the fine details of his work. His creative writings go from zero to infinity.
