Moroccan Calligrapher

Arabic Calligraphy & Illumination Design to enhance your events and projects

Whether you are looking for a few memorable words, a tattoo design or a complete passage hand-written in Arabic and perhaps ornamented and illuminated, I can help you produce your project or that special gift. Maybe you're looking for something personalized or a design that employs Arabic for your commercial or personal use (fancying a tattoo maybe?). Whatever it is, I have the experience, methodology and skill to enhance your projects and plans. My clients look for an Arabic flare. They can range from ordinary people and families, art enthusiasts, newly-weds, wedding organizers, photographers, interior designers, architects, mosques, schools, companies, authors, visual artists to musicians and more. Contact me to get started.

Adnane Benali

What some of our clients say is what makes this a fun and enjoyable craft!


Working with Adnane to create my logo has been such a great and fullfiling experience. He’s a very tasteful, detailed artist and worked closely with me to meet my exact needs and expectations in a timely manner. I’m so happy with my logo and encourage you all to explore the beautiful calligraphic work of Moroccan Calligrapher.

I contacted a few calligraphers to get a piece written for me in Moroccan Arabic calligraphy. Adnane was quick to answer and his attention to detail was what really impressed me. Being that the piece was going to be tattooed on me permanently it had to be perfect. He sent me a few variations of the piece with a detailed explanation of each then using my input he put together exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend working with Adnane, a true professional and a great pleasure.
— Tattoo design customer
The communication with Adnane through the design process was excellent and his vision of my desired artwork was better than anything I had imagined. When it arrived, I couldn’t take my eyes off it! Beautiful execution with lively Arabic calligraphy, design images and flourishes, dreamy details, brilliant gold accents. He went above and beyond by framing and priority mailing to me. Highly recommended.
— Beth from Seattle

Benali created several versions of a word for an art project I was working on. Especially because it was only one word, the fine details of the strokes were important to the overall effect. Benali’s work is subtle, beautiful, and shows a wonderful balance of space, shape, and line.
— Lillian Hsu, Director of Public Art at Cambridge Arts Council

I hired Adnane Benali to not only write the calligraphy for a poem I composed, but also to translate from English to Arabic so that a limited edition artist’s book that I created could be understood as it traveled in the United States, Europe, and Middle East. In addition, I asked an Egyptian artist friend to check the translation and look at the script, and he told me that it was excellent. Not only did Adnane create a beautiful page of text, but he also educated me to the
different forms of calligraphy. Coincidentally, we live near each other, so it has been my pleasure to meet him and to stay in touch as he exhibits his art work in different venues.

I commissioned an album cover from Adnane in 2012. I was wowed by the passion, imagination, and cleverness of his creation. Communicating with him was easy and comfortable, making him a joy to work with. Adnane delivered an inspiring work that to this day I am proud to display.
