Inkman is the alias of Mohamed Kilani Tbib, a Tunisian artist who started painting on the walls of Tunis during the Arab Spring in 2011. Trained in design and typography, he developed a style he calls calligraffiti — Latin characters deconstructed and reshaped with the flowing aesthetics of Arabic calligraphy. Every letter is readable, yet the compositions feel like ornamental Arabic script. His murals span from the village of Erriadh on Djerba (part of the legendary Djerbahood project) to a five-story facade in Dubai, and he has collaborated with luxury houses like Guerlain and an Italian design house.

Paradise 2.0 reimagines the medallion composition in vivid color — a four-color rainbow gradient shifts from deep teal to turquoise behind the intricate calligraphic web. Every stroke is a Latin character, reshaped until it flows like Arabic script — legible, yet disguised in ornament. The rainbow print technique means each edition differs slightly, making every copy a unique variation.
