Einodin Sadeghzadeh is a modernist Iranian calligrapher and painter and one of the leading artists in calligraphic painting. He had been interested in calligraphy since he was a child, but he started learning this art in the last year of high school. He spent the basics of his education with Mehdi Fallah and Javad Bakhtyari and after that he participated in the courses of Gholam Hossein Amirkhani. During his military service, he joined the Iranian Calligraphers Association and attended Amirkhani lectures. Later he pursued the art in an academic way and graduated with a bachelor's degree in graphic design at Shahid Rajaee University and a master's degree in illustration at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Tehran. He also got his Phd from Shahid Rajaei University and became a member of the faculty of this university. Sadeghzadeh also lectures at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Tehran and the Iranian Calligraphers Association.
Three years after starting calligraphy, Sadeghzadeh exhibited his works for the first time at the Babol Technical College. he held his first solo exhibition at the Calligraphers Association, In 1991. After that he continuously collaborated with Seyhoun Gallery. His calligraphic painting artworks have been showcased many times in solo and group exhibitions in countries such as Oman, UAE, Ukraine, Canada, USA, Russia, etc.
His main skill was"Shekasteh Nastaliq". "I have been working in Nastaliq for many years, and now I write Nastaliq when a strange feeling comes to me, although I love the Shekaste, but Nastaliq has rooted so deep in me. I started Calligraphy in the Shekaste style in 1990 and felt that my deep interest was more in the Shekaste ." This interest was the result of his accidental acquaintance with two old versions of Darvish and Mirza Gholamreza. By copying the old manuscripts, Sadeghzadeh experienced an accurate perception of this style of calligraphy and formed his own personal expression in calligraphy.
After his academic studies, Sadeghzadeh combined the knowledge he had acquired in graphics and design with the skill of calligraphy and tried to search for some sort of personal creative expression which distanced him from the classical forms of calligraphy. "In classical calligraphy, you feel that everything is the same as the old artists did. Everything is written in the best way by Mir Emad and others, But I was looking for something that no one has achieved, and that is more integrated in the nature of art. I applied color slowly and frequently tried to deform the letters to figure out my own expression of calligraphic painting.”
In his calligraphic painting artworks, Sadeghzadeh emphasizes the aesthetic qualities hidden in the details of the letters by detailing and magnifying parts of a calligraphy. In some of his experiments, he achieves volumetric quality and pays attention to the physicality of the material by engraving and peeling the letters from the dough-shaped surface that he uses in laying the painting.
