Mohammad Ehsai was born in Qazvin, Iran in 1939. Ehsai was classically trained in traditional calligraphy, such as Nastaliq and Muhaqqaq. He was one of the leading artists incorporating Persian script, into new artistic expressions shaped by symbolic art forms found in Shi’i religious works. As an intellectually curious artist, his desire to know more about the way in which art is expressed in different cultures led him to travel and study in several European and Asian countries, where he also exhibited widely.
Mohammed Inspired me to learn how to paint, I didn't succeed yet but one day I will. The color combination he uses is so magnificent which makes it feel unreal.His brush strokes
carry a lot of movement and direction plus he always uses Islamic ornaments and Quraan versus which makes it even more spiritual.
This is Some of my favorite paintings:
He also did posters and logos....what an inspiration
