Let us know about Azka Bhat, a young calligrapher from Nowgam Srinagar. She is an Arts student. She is a self-taught calligrapher and Mehendi artist. Currently, she is pursuing a Diploma in computer science. She was inclined to painting and sketching since she was in school. Before going further let us show you a little bit of an impression of her captivating calligraphy…
During the lockdown, everyone got time to find themselves and if we will talk about Azka Bhat then it is really impressive that she developed an interest in calligraphy. She was totally unaware of calligraphy but she used to practice daily with simple sketch pens and brushes. Firstly, she began with simple/casual and the thing is that she was not sure whether she will be appreciated or not.
Actually, she was kinda intimidated of by negative responses but then her friends and family motivate her the most, they began to appreciate her work which made her stronger, and then she used to do more and more hard work for calligraphy.
After that, she got her tools whatever she needed for calligraphy. Now, if we will talk further then she is also interested in Mehendi art. She started it when she was a kid (in class 6th) her mother brought a book for her wherefrom she used to learn new patterns of Mehendi.
When there was lockdown in 2019, Everything was shut down and she had nothing to do. so, she decided to make some wall hangings, learn Mehendi designs then she also made glass paintings. Initially, she started as time pass out but gradually her interest grew and it became her passion. When her friends saw her talent then she compelled her to join any art class. But it was lockdown so she couldn’t join any art class but she decided to learn on her own then she used to buy some more colors and she made whatever her mind stroked.
Now, if we will talk about support then she is very lucky as she got much possible support from her parents especially, from her father. Her father has always been a source of inspiration and always used to support her in whatever decision she has taken till now. Before it was like fun to her but when she found interest in calligraphy and Mehendi art so, now she wants to learn more and more professional aspects of calligraphy and other arts and she wants to make her carrier with it.
