Description

Zodiac. LibraWhile I was studying Islamic Art and architecture at the American University in Cairo, I came across the different symbolism of the Zodiac that was depicted in manuscripts, etched on brass trays, bowls or enamelled on glass. The Vaso Vescovali made in Iran in the 12th century AD, caught my attention with its very cursive rendering of the Zodiac, and I decided to draw my own series. At the time I was experimenting with Calligraphy metal pens. I started on the series after looking at the exquisite drawings of the Safavid artist Riza Abbasi.

Later while I was working with Publi-Graphics Ad Agency in its Cairo branch, I suggested designing a newsletter for Hyatt hotel in Egypt. I finished the series which was also published a few years later as a calendar.
