Living in times that hope seems to have lost it's meaning and mankind walks in paths of uncertainty and hate, Simon finds hope in the skyfall. His calligraphy leads him through inner peace and serenity to the path of wisdom, from the free skies to a free fall in the urban surroundings we have to endure. In a pure and magical way he manages to entrap us to his world of letters with one purpose, to convey his message of change and hope crashing the black era that has emerged. A better world is possible. "This is the end, hold your breath and count to ten, feel the earth move and then, hear my heart burst again" MORE INFO www.facebook.com/urbancalligraphy www.flickr.com/photos/simon_silaidis www.urbancalligraphy.com Artist Bio: Simon Silaidis is a designer, a thinker, a vision-er, a pioneer...

His style is a mix of Western, Asian and Arabian calligraphy and his vision of a new world of calligraphy based in tranquility and symmetry dominating our surrounding is in fact the inner change he proposes to world.
