Born in Tehran in 1978, Bozorgi was originally educated as a biomedical engineer before entering the visual arts with a decade of training at the Society of Iranian Calligraphers, where he mastered a number of calligraphic forms such as Diwani, Kufic, Nastaliq, Naskh, Thuluth, Muhaqqaq, Tughra, Ruqah and Shekasteh nastaliq (cursive Nastaliq or broken Nataliq) in order to develop distinctly stylized characters based on Arabic Calligraphy and Persian Calligraphy examples, and earned ‘Momtaz’ degree. Bozorgi’s masterful command of the centuries-old tradition is the result of intensive studies in classical calligraphic forms After training with the Society of Iranian Calligraphers for over a decade, Bozorgi left to pursue more innovative calligraphic forms. Drawing from his background in engineering, he makes qualitative calculations when constructing his works, using the directives of geometry to create abstract illusions of movement, depth and space.
Mohammad Bozorgi approaches calligraphy with an architectural eye that is evident in the mathematical structure or symmetry of letters.
