Renowned artist Mahmood Al-Abadi’s successful collaboration with Huawei Themes has brought Arabic calligraphy to a global audience. This partnership has resulted in the creation of a captivating collection that seamlessly blends the beauty of traditional Arabic calligraphy with modern design elements, enriching the digital experience for users across various platforms.
“As an artist, I’m always seeking new ways to express my creativity and share my passion for calligraphy. Working with Huawei Themes has been an incredible journey. Together, we’ve created a collection that beautifully blends traditional Arabic calligraphy with modern design across digital platforms.”
The collaboration with Huawei Themes was driven by the aim to raise awareness of the rich Arabian culture and heritage and bring it to a wider global audience. During the Huawei flagship device launch event, Al-Abadi shared his artistic journey with the audience, highlighting the deep-rooted passion that drives him to create captivating calligraphy pieces.
“It’s been a privilege to have my work showcased in numerous art exhibitions and to see it appreciated by art enthusiasts,” he said. “I’m thrilled to introduce the Ramadan themes I’ve exclusively designed for Huawei devices, including pads, foldable phones, smartphones, watches, and always on display for phones. These themes capture the essence of the season and add a touch of artistic beauty to your device.”
The response from users has been overwhelming, with more than 500,000 downloads of Al-Abadi’s themes on Huawei Themes. This figure continues to grow as more individuals appreciate the unique blend of traditional calligraphy and contemporary artistry.
Al-Abadi introduced two themes: The “Soaring Falcon” and the “Sailing Ship.” These themes masterfully blend traditional calligraphy and contemporary art to create a visually stunning experience. The “Soaring Falcon” theme inspired by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan’s quote, symbolizes the immense hope placed in the youth of the UAE, who are aware of their responsibilities, work diligently, and aspire for a prosperous future.
This theme elegantly captures the graceful movements of a falcon in flight, skillfully entwined with intricate calligraphic strokes.
On the other hand, the “Sailing Ship” theme captures the essence of exploration and adventure while remaining deeply connected to the national identity, seamlessly combining the elegance of calligraphy with the dynamic energy of a sailing vessel.
