Abol began with Nouvelle Figuration in France and maintained an interest in calligraphy because of its intense graphic effect and beauty.
In 1996, he decided to take up the challenge and after some initial studies he gained confidence to take up large format
calligraphy in Thuluth and Kufi on canvas and on wood. At the same time, he became extremely influenced by the
great Persian Sufi and Poet, Jalal e din Mollana known as Rumi and he decided to dedicate all his calligraphies to him.
Since 1987, Abol Atighetchi has regularly participated in sales at the Drouot Auctions in Paris and has quotations listed on major art websites
listed as ABOL. Today, Abol is exploring new frontiers through different methods of designing modern calligraphy in very large format.
Abol Atighetchi is also a member of ‘La Maison des Artistes - Association des Artistes’, he has been actively participating in ‘Maison
de vente Drouot’ (Paris Based auction house). Abol is a member of ‘Akoun’ : The Valuation/Quotation of Painters in the world.
