Subhi Bilani

Subhi Bilani, a classical calligrapher from Syria, he was a famous artist and teacher in the 30’s and 40’s of the past century, I liked these pieces because he used an organic way to write Ruqaa, I’m pretty sure that he was so fast to write them.. you can see the unclear letter endings, and sometimes the minimal shapes for some other letters.

What I also liked is the strong angular baseline across the words.
