The Founding Artist
Ismaël El Hassani is a renowned artist known for his works inspired by Islamic art, where he combines the elegance of Arabic calligraphy with the majesty of words. His work quickly resonated with an audience sensitive to the beauty of letters and the depth of the message.
The Birth of a Community
After the success of his works and several years of experience, Ismaël chose to share his expertise and artistic vision. His works are distinguished by a unique combination of noble materials such as wood and brass, and modern resin finishes. Wishing to transmit this approach, he founded Islamic Designers, a community that today brings together participants from several countries, driven by the same desire: to promote Arabic calligraphy and carry the universal message of Islam through contemporary creations.
A Growing Enthusiasm
The community quickly encountered genuine enthusiasm: in less than nine months, it already has more than a hundred members. It is organized around an e-learning program led by Ismaël, which covers the entire artistic journey: from brand creation to the realization of the work, including design, production and marketing of the paintings. In addition to this component, there is a monthly in-person program in his workshop, where participants learn production techniques through practice and exchange ideas about the evolution of their projects. Weekly sharing sessions also allow members to present new creations, evaluate progress and discuss topics related to art and design.
From these workshops, exchanges and experiments, the idea of organizing an exhibition was born. It presents for the first time the original works of community members: works that testify to several months of design, learning and realization, and which embody the emergence of a new generation of designers committed to the renaissance of contemporary Islamic aesthetics.
