Khalid Casado

Khalid was born in Madrid where he has lived and developed both personally and academically. In 2009, he met Nuria García Masip who later became his mentor and master. Guided by her, he traveled to Istanbul and became acquainted with her masters. This is how he began his first lessons with the master calligrapher Davut Bektas, and always under the supervision of master Hasan Çelebi.

Two years later, he started taking lessons from the master calligrapher Ferhat Kurlu who, along with Nuria, became one of his strongest influences. He received his icazet or calligraphy diploma in sülüs and nesih scripts. In 2015,he traveled for the first time to the United States and met master calligrapher Mohammed Zakariya, a person who has also inspired and influenced his work. He teaches in cities throughout Spain and Europe. More of his work can be seen at his website, Sacred Lines. (sacred-lines.com)
