Etem Çalışkan studied in Istanbul Fine Art Academy and received lessons from Emin Barın and Rikkat Kunt.
He served as a journalist until 1982 and also has maintained to work as a painter and calligrapher as well.
" Calligraphy is the art of writing skillfully. However, it may not be regarded as an art unless it has a meaning and interpretation. The art is considered to be as normlessness within the rules. If you only follow the paths of others you cannot generate something original."
