Iqbal Ahmed was born in Pune in 1945 and had been a student of the Ornellaâ’s School and Abhinav Kala Vidyalaya. In addition to painting with oil and sketching caricatures,Iqbal began to experiment with Arabic Calligraphy in the early eighties,using abstract elements to recreate the Arabic alphabet. Transferring this artistic innovation to the virtual realm through computers created the first true turning point in the realization of Iqbal Ahmed’s vision. He now uses programmes like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create patterns,motifs and abstract forms,stated a press release.
