Syed Fakhri is a Houston based Arabic Calligraphy artist who is originally from India, and was raised in Saudi Arabia. 

Learning Arabic while growing up, he became fascinated with the Arabic script. In school, he was taught the Naskh and Ruq’a scripts. Syed developed Arabic calligraphy as a hobby and went on to learn and practice the Thuluth and Muhaqqaq scripts on his own. Currently, in addition to these scripts, he also practices his own version of a contemporary, modern-style script.

He holds a deep fascination in the profound meaning, richness and rhythm of Quranic verses. Syed incorporates his love for Islam & calligraphy into representing verses and supplications using Arabic calligraphy scripts in a variety of forms to further enhance the message each contains. This is a hobby that he applies towards various art forms/mediums, such as parchment, canvas, murals, and callligraffiti.
