Dr. Roopali Khanna is a calligrapher and visual artist working with both Western and Indian scripts. With a background in English literature and Fine Arts, her work is deeply connected to the study of letterforms—their structure, history, and meaning. She works across scripts such as Fraktur, Blackletter, Uncial, Italic, Copperplate, Ornamental Spencerian, modern calligraphy, Devanagari, and Buddhist calligraphy. Her practice moves between paper and canvas. On paper, her work focuses on precision and clarity of script. On canvas, it becomes more free and expressive, where writing moves beyond readability. Her work explores the idea that letterforms are not just for reading, but can also be seen and felt as visual art. Inspired by Indian script traditions, she looks at the connection between sound, form, and meaning. In her canvas work, letters break, flow, and transform into shapes, textures, and movement. Her work exists between writing and abstraction, inviting the viewer to experience calligraphy not as text, but as visual art.
