Yasemin Sönmez
Multidisciplinary Islamic Calligraphy Artist | PhD Candidate in Islamic Calligraphy History
She began her journey in Islamic calligraphy in 2011, gradually deepening her practice within the classical tradition. Starting with thuluth and naskh, her work evolved into a broader inquiry encompassing various scripts and approaches within the discipline.
Throughout her graduate and doctoral studies, she has focused on Islamic calligraphy, painting, and manuscript culture, rethinking tradition through a contemporary lens. While continuing her practice within the classical mashq lineage in Istanbul, she explores the visual possibilities of script through diverse surfaces and applications.
She continues her academic research alongside her artistic production, working in both classical and modern modes of expression within the field of Islamic calligraphy.
