Masud Valipour is known to all locals of Westwood, located in Persian Square, the heart of west Los Angeles, as a Persian painting calligrapher who has captivated the art of cursive Farsi calligraphy (the language of Persian culture). His multiple showcases ranging in cities from San Francisco, Washington D.C., and back to his home of Los Angeles show his unique way of art on canvas.
Mr. Valipour’s talents was honorably mentioned in a 2018 article on the Los Angeles times.
“The Farsi language is a poetic language,” says Masud Valipour, owner of Ketabsara Persian Calligraphy and Books in Westwood’s Persian Square.
Ketabsara carries classic and contemporary poetry, novels and political texts in Farsi (as well as a few books in English), but Valipour’s calligraphy art of lines of Persian poetry in Farsi is the shop’s main draw.
