MY TURNING POINT

Muhammad Assiry, April 20, 2020

 

 

These are some calligraphies that I always remember. Those are first calligraphy work that I made when I studied at LEMKA Sukabumi West Java 2000. I was 19 years old at that time. Looked so cute just like a millenial generation.

That was the turning point of my calligraphy bussiness, CV. Assiry Art. Started from Little Assiry who lived in limitedness. I had to think the way I fulfilled my daily needs in Pesantren. Lucky me I had such two kind teachers Ustadz KH. Didin Sirojuddin and Ustadz Bobby Essawal El Iskandar. I only needed to pay 125.000,- each month because I did Dalail fasting. Alhamdulillah.

Here is my story, armed with little skill about calligraphy which I got from Ustadz KH. Nur Aufa Shiddiq Kudus (1996-2000), I walked around Sukabumi every Friday to sell calligraphy or face sketch. I never expected before when I got my first mosque calligraphy project Rp. 6.650.000,-. I did that project with my friend, Sofyan. Though that project didn’t give me much money, but that’s enough to buy calligraphy tools and paid my tuition fee in LEMKA. All praises be to Allah, the lord of the universe. From 2000 to 2007, I was able to be a good even calligraphy master. I taught also in LEMKA. I participated in several national and international competitions and I won. I never say to my santri in Modern PSKQ that their way to bea great calligrapher will be easy. They have to be taft and unbreakable person. Never tired to learn and try.
