Calligraphy Workshop for Beginners by Prajwal on April 7th in Chennai
About the Artist:
For Prajwal Xavier (@prajwalxavier), Malayalam is not merely a language but a medium to carry out his passion- the art of lettering. The 26-year-old who hails from Panangad in Kochi is a popular artist in Instagram. His curiosity towards letters began at a young age. He was inspired by the handwritten typefaces on hoardings, public transports and ads on walls.
Prajwal has an affection towards Malayalam letters, though he works on English too. According to him, English has typefaces in abundance in graphical medium which makes it less challenging for artists like him.
Noted calligraphy artist Narayana Bhattathiri is his idol. An article by him about the art of letters, was a turning point in his life towards this art. For Prajwal, the artist in him found platform initially in his notebooks and cover pages of assignments. Later, Instagram provided him with an opportunity to feature his works and grow into a better craftsman of letters. In Instagram, his works are divided into three different categories- pure Malayalam calligraphy, ‘travel and lettering’ and nano-stories. The most popular one being ‘travel and lettering’, it features places he visited in a photograph along with the name of that place hand-lettered by him.
