Maqam Nahawand 02 musical calligraphy 

This drawing reflects the artist’s inspiration by the Arabic calligraphy, music, and poetry.  In this painting, the artist chose to draw Maqam Nahawand  (one of the melodic modes used in traditional Arabic music), to show us the romantic and passionate side that each person has within themself.

This beautifully drawn maqam is loved by many for its ability to bear the feeling of happiness and nostalgia. Akil Ahmad builds each maqam on a scale and carries a tradition that defines its habitual phrases, important notes, melodic development, and modulation.   

For the artist, maqam is the captured moments turned by the movement and visual language. When drawing maqams, he takes us on a journey full of musical sounds and emotions. 

You can buy this piece alone or as part of a set.
