Welcome to Art-gir: calligraphy, scripts history of writing.
Having developed an interest in recent years in the history of writing, alphabets and typing, I started learning the art of calligraphy in 2025. Greatly inspired by Arabic calligraphy, I use Arabic styles as inspiration for works in Armenian and English. I'm also studying different Armenian scripts and working to create new ones.
The name "Art-gir" combines the words "art" in English and "գիր" ("writing", "script" in Armenian).
Outside of calligraphy, I work as international partnerships manager at the University of Geneva, and split my free time between volunteering in associations, books, and music. As a trained sociologist in arts and culture, I also co-organise scientific conferences within research networks. Cultural and scientific diplomacy form my main interests professionally and personally.
