(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Art’s graceful attraction can promote lots of religious and cultural teachings in society, Akram Hadi, according to a calligrapher working in the field of Islamic calligraphy.

 Talking about her calligraphy exhibition featuring Imam Ali’s (AS) names and titles, she added that creating such artistic works has opened a luminous path to her great success.

 “The exhibition is showcasing both traditional and modern art mostly from the viewers' perspective,” she went on to say, adding that the works include a combination of calligraphy, painting, drawing, as well as miniature and graphics.

 “The 110 showcased works together with other 70 ones have been presented in a single book,” Ms Hadi further said, expressing hopes that she could publish a total 800 works in a number of volumes.

 Asked whether there have been any obstacles in holding the gallery, she answered: “Fortunately, I did not face any problems in creating the works; yet, a big impediment for artists is that they have to do other activities as well while they prefer to devote their entire time to their favorite art.”

 Referring to Imam Ali’s (AS) honorable title and character as a great help to set up the exhibition, she remarked: “I have undoubtedly been supported by Imam Ali (AS) in creating these works apart from my own experience which comes form 23 years of practice and hard work.”

 “Art’s attractive grace can be highly effective on promoting religious and cultural teachings in society as an indirect mode of education,” she further said.
