Nja Mahdaoui is a painter and calligrapher known for transforming Arabic script into abstract, rhythmic compositions that explore the visual rather than semantic dimensions of writing. His large-scale works on canvas, paper, and architectural installations have established him as a leading figure in the Hurufiyya movement. His works are held in collections including the British Museum and the Arab World Institute in Paris.
