Hassan Qureshi

Hassan Qureshi is a Columbus-based artist whose work explores the intersection of Arabic calligraphy, wildlife, and cultural expression. His art is designed to captivate and challenge perceptions, drawing viewers into narratives that transcend the canvas.

Hassan’s practice is currently centered on two distinct yet deeply connected themes: the unity of Arabic calligraphy with natural forms and the hyper realistic portrayal of wildlife. His calligraphic works weave the elegance of the written word into organic silhouettes, symbolizing the harmony between a historic tradition and the natural world. Meanwhile, his meticulously detailed wildlife paintings bring animals to life as if they might step off the canvas. Through these works, he aims to foster a deeper appreciation for nature and ignite a sense of yearning to protect and conserve these beautiful creatures. 

At the heart of Hassan’s creative philosophy is a commitment to growth and exploration. He believes that true innovation comes from pushing beyond comfort zones and embracing new perspectives. His goal is not only to evolve as an artist but also to inspire others to take on challenges, proving that the pursuit of the unknown is where transformation begins.
