He is Merciful / او بخشنده است/ Mohammad Ehsaei

Hi everyone  I am back with Two works from Mohammad Ehsaei.  Quranic Text , religious symbolism, distinct Persian  Style of Calligraphy executed with  the technique of paintings or rather illustration.  They are stunning as they are among the best specimens of a modern take on calligraphy in Iran,  BTW there is also a Blue one  but we didn’t have time to take a photo.
