By profession a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor, Samar accidentally fell into the beautiful world of calligraphy during the COVID -19 pandemic. She specialises in Chinese Arabic Calligraphy (Sini) and Kufic Calligraphy. For Samar, calligraphy serves as a Tazkiya-e-Nafs (Purification of Soul) and she wishes to inspire others the same way.

Her calligraphy is a way of expressing her inner self in the form of art. The Prophetic saying that has always inspired her is: “Allah is beautiful and HE Loves Beauty.”

Learning calligraphy and exploring the world of art have brought a balance in Samar’s life helping her manage mental wellness better, creating a feeling of joy and providing an excellent stress relief mechanism from day to day tasks. As a result, she would like to promote arts as a means to enjoy life, have fun, promote creativity, raise mental well-being awareness and create a social space for connection.
