It is thus, first of all, by the way of the rigour of the classical masters that Mohammed Idali makes his first weapons as a calligrapher, he perfects the mastery of the tracing of many calligraphic styles.
 
 Graduate in Arabic Arts and Letters, he continuously enriches his knowledge of writing and its history, and regularly exhibits his works in France and abroad.
 
 today his works by seeking the right balance between the calligraphic letter and the funds of volumes with abstract compositions.
 
 The letter structures the body of the painting and then takes on a pictorial dimension.
 It is the perfection of the gesture and the line of each letter that is sought in the hope of achieving harmony in the work.
 
 The painting finds its source in a poetic or literary text, classical or more contemporary. The extracts inspire the composition of the letters, the ochre and earthy colours, the movements linked to the graceful interlacing.
