Born in Tehran, Iran in 1962, Ajami first practiced Calligraphy under Master Calligrapher Gholam – Hossein Amirkhaani, in the early 90’s in Iran, where he was also awarded with the ‘Degree of Excellence’by Iran’s Calligraphy Association.

As a Leading pioneer in Calligraphy, Hamid Ajami is the founder of an innovative new style of Persian Calligraphy : ‘Moala’ - an initiation that has not occurred in the past 200 years. Originating from his “Mo’alla” Scripts, literally referring to the term: ‘The Exalted’, the works on display are a fascinating reflection of Persian Culture fused with inspiration from traditional geometry and contemporary Islamic art.
