Maryam Usman is a Nigerian calligrapher and visual artist whose practice blends Arabic calligraphy, mixed-media painting, and textual art into elegant, contemporary visual narratives. Rooted in spirituality, culture, and the timeless beauty of language, her work transforms words into bold, expressive forms that carry both emotional depth and cultural resonance. Through a fusion of color, texture, and layered symbolism, she reimagines traditional calligraphic techniques within a modern aesthetic, creating pieces that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and experience the harmony between meaning and form. Guided by a deep respect for tradition and a commitment to contemporary expression, Usman continues to build a practice where art becomes a bridge between identity, intention, and the enduring power of written language.
