Nouredinne Boukhair

Calligraphy and popular art

Nouredinne Boukhair

Nouredinne Boukhair is an artist and calligrapher.

He will for example pen your name on a card in decorative Arabic script, or write out a piece of Arabic poetry or a Koranic quotation, in whatever style of Arabic script is required.

Nouredinne also paints bright cartoons on the wooden boards on which children at a Koranic school traditionally learn reading, writing and scripture. A simple one should set you back around 100dh. Nouredinne's painted school-bards proved so popular that they've spawned a brace of imitators in shops nearby.
