The two-day exhibition brought together artists from several countries; Momin was selected for the upcoming international exhibition in Norway
BHIWANDI — A young calligrapher from Bhiwandi has brought pride to his city after gaining special recognition at an international Qur’anic calligraphy exhibition in Delhi held recently.
The two-day (March 28-29) exhibition aimed to connect the younger generation with the art of calligraphy and spread the universal message of the Holy Qur’an in a beautiful and meaningful way. The event saw participation from artists and representatives from countries including Switzerland, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, making it a truly global platform.
Among the selected participants from across India, only ten prominent calligraphers were chosen to showcase their work. Mansab Momin, also known as Mansab Art, was one of them. His inclusion in the exhibition was seen as a recognition of his skill and dedication to the art.
Momin’s Qur’anic designs and calligraphy pieces drew strong attention from visitors. People who attended the exhibition closely observed his work and appreciated the detail and balance in his writing.
During the event, Momin also conducted a live workshop which became a major attraction. He created calligraphy on canvas in front of the audience and wrote names and phrases on the spot for hundreds of visitors.
Speaking about his experience, Momin said, “Calligraphy is part of our rich cultural and religious heritage. It is important that we pass this art on to the next generation.” He added, “I will continue my efforts to teach and promote this art, and I plan to restart calligraphy training classes soon.”
Organisers of the exhibition were also impressed by his performance. Due to his strong command over the art, Momin has been selected to participate in an upcoming international calligraphy exhibition in Norway.
One of the organisers said, “His work reflects deep understanding and control. The response from the audience shows how powerful this art form can be.”
The exhibition was held under the supervision of noted calligrapher Gauri Yusuf Hussain from Gujarat. It was seen as an important step in promoting calligraphy and introducing it to a wider global audience.
Momin’s achievement is being seen as a matter of pride not only for him but also for the people of Bhiwandi, as his work continues to carry forward a meaningful artistic and spiritual tradition.
