Type the words you want on your wall, and have them painted as a calligraphy piece. MASHQ Studio sets your words in real Thuluth, an AI model paints them as reed-pen ink with gold, watercolour or Iznik ornament around them, and the painting is read back letter by letter before you see it. Three samples from our library are free first.

AED 5 a piece

Print size, two repaints included, nothing is added at checkout.

Write your words in the StudioSee the three looks

  • AED 5One painted piece at print size; the lettering stays yours as a Studio project
  • Real ThuluthThe letters are composed by MASHQ Studio before any AI touches them
  • Every letter checkedA painting is accepted only when each letter and dot matches your words
  • 2 to 6 minutesComposition is instant; painting and checking take a few minutes

Three looks, one exact lettering

Every piece starts as a composition in Thuluth, set by MASHQ Studio. The AI paints over that composition, so the look changes and the letters do not.

How a piece is made

  1. Your words. Type them in the Studio, or send a photo of them. A reader tells you what they say and where they come from.
  2. Set in Thuluth. MASHQ Studio composes them in its own Thuluth: stacked lines, a size hierarchy, kashida and tazyin.
  3. Painted by AI. The model re-inks that composition as reed-pen ink and paints the ornament around it, at print size.
  4. Read back, letter by letter. A vision model reads the painting. A piece is accepted only when every letter and dot matches your words. If three paintings fail, your piece carries the exact lettering of the Studio instead.

Why not any AI image generator?

  • The letters are set, not guessedMost AI calligraphy tools draw the letters from scratch and say so themselves: the text is kept "up to 95 %". A wall piece needs 100 %, so here the letters come from a real Thuluth font first.
  • You keep more than a pictureThe painting at print size, and the lettering as a vector Studio project you can adjust and download clean.
  • It can go on the wallFrom your piece, order it printed on fine art paper or canvas, framed, delivered in the UAE, like every calligraphy paint we make.

Questions

Is the text really exact?

Yes. The letters are set by MASHQ Studio in a real Thuluth font before any AI touches them. After the painting, a vision model reads it back, and it is accepted only when every letter and dot matches your words.

What do I get for AED 5?

The painted piece at print size, the lettering as a Studio project you can adjust and download clean, and two more painting rounds if you want a change. Nothing is added at checkout.

Which words can I use?

A verse, a saying, a name, a dedication, your own line: Arabic script only, up to 600 characters. Quranic text is set in the Studio's exact lettering and is never painted by the model.

Who paints it?

An image model from Google paints over the Studio's composition. Your words, and your photo if you send one, are sent to Google to be read and painted.
