"Indian ink and acrylic painting on papyrus, 60 x 60 cm, 2004"
Remarks
Nja Mahdaoui's work is described as 'word/image calligraphy' (p. 16). The use of Indian ink in this contemporary context is part of a 'total art' approach that bridges traditional calligraphic aesthetics with modern abstract painting (p. 16).
