Are you an artist/creative person/ art admirer?
I'd rather say that I practice
and develop my creativity through the art of letters that I love particularly!
How is art important in people’s lives?
I
think it permit them, and us, to see special beauty , to reflect and to be inspired
Do you have a favorite artist?Why do you like him/her?
I like a painter whose name is
Faith (faith-artist.com): her work is gorgeous, it combines arabic calligraphy
with colors, graff, a lot of imagination, and references to the nature.. Every
painting has its own story to tell
What's your favorite place to see art? Do you have a
gallery/museum-going routine?
I
don't really go in museums or galleries, i'd rather find out creative pieces
and original artists through internet, social medias
Do you own any pieces of art? If so, what are they?
No,
I don't
If you are an artist, what’s your favorite piece of work
that you have created?
I
consider myself as a student, so I don't have a piece that I made that really
makes me proud.. For the moment at least!
What are you working on at the
moment?
As I’m
a calligray/lettering lover, I keep practicing these both areas and I take
orders of customers when there are
Do you sell your work? If so where all do you sell your
work?
Yes, I do, I have a website: www.calligraphiekoom.com
where people can order and personalize their creations. I ad new things on the
website step by step
Do you make a living off your art?
It
is not, for the moment, my major source of income, because I opened my website
just a few months ago, but I hope that I will be able to live off my work, it's
one of my goal
Do you think your country’s government gives enough
financial support to local artists?
Hmmm, I don't think so, being a
local artist is seen as an insecure position, same thing if you are a small
entrepreneur. Some supports exist of course, but they don't really make people
want to create/develop their own activity I think..
Do you support local artists? If so, how?
I
try to support in the best way creative initiatives, entrepreneurs, not
necessary in my city, but in my country in general (France) and even abroad, by
buying their products, sharing their work...
What are you doing when you’re not creating? What (other)
hobbies do you have?
I read, I go
to lectures, seminars, I like to learn other languages and keep improving
myself in letter art
What would people be surprised to learn about you?
that I completely live off my passion
Technically, what would you consider to be a piece of
art? Why?
Something
that somebody imagined/created/transformed, and where we can find, just by
looking at it, some [subjective] beauty that wasn’t there before the person
worked on it
Do you have any tips or inspiring words for others?
Do what you like to do, don't waste your time doing
something you hate, just because people around you say that it's “safer”. Be
confident, prove them that you're capable of doing great things!
Where else can we find you?

Can you give more insight about you and your work?
I
love the art of letters, whether it's graff, hand lettering, latin calligraphy

orders in latin calligraphy and in hand-lettering; My pen's serve your imagination!
