Calligram Art
“A calligram is text arranged in such a way that it forms a thematically related image.
It can be a poem, a phrase, or a single word.” Source: Wikipedia
Mirjam Polman Is a contemporary calligram writer who uses the calligram technique in her art. She lives and works on La Gomera, one of the smallest islands in the Canary archipelago. When she is making a calligram, she writes hundreds of times words, a text or a name, to form and create an image. She write them tiny, but still readable. Her work is sold to clients worldwide.
Watch how she creates personal portraits, created with a name or favorite word, or how she made wedding hearts, by writing the names of the couple in red and black ink. Each heart consists a name, written numerous times. Another example to show you, are the tiny baby feet. Written the name in black and blue (for a boy) or pink (for a girl) to make the sweet calligram complete. These personalized items are gifts for life!
