My journey with calligraphy
My journey with calligraphy started with my father Achyut Palav. I am privileged to be his son and to learn calligraphy from him. I grew up seeing him perform calligraphy. His skill, techniques, tools, and ease in which he performs has always mesmerized me. It was very difficult to create my personality in this world of calligraphy, where my father is already a master of calligraphy.
Exploring new styles, tools, mediums, techniques encouraged me to work. It was not just a stroke or an artwork for me but the thought and concept behind every stroke makes it amazing. Calligraphy is not only beautiful handwriting for me but, it is an inspiration, meditation, dedication, and application. I would love to mention My mother Shraddha Palav, Prof. Kalpesh Gosavi, and Prof. Vinay Saynekar who helped me to push the boundaries and explore in this world of calligraphy.
