The intellectual paradox is one of the important and organizational foundations in the art of Arabic calligraphy, as it works to achieve clarity and emphasizes the highlighting of structural elements. It also lies in identifying the contradictions, balance, and contrasts between elements and foundations due to the complexity of Arabic calligraphy and its close connection to the original fixed rules established by ancient calligraphers. Therefore, one of the main manifestations is the use of disparate foundations and elements in a balanced way, through which the paradox in this art can be achieved. Hence, the current research problem arose to answer the following question: What is the intellectual paradox and its reflection in the formations of Arabic calligraphy?
The importance of the research is represented in understanding the intellectual paradox as one of the pillars that produce visual tension in the artistic achievement, leading the eye's movement towards the diverse and contrasting visual stimuli and the contrasting forces within the artistic work. The effectiveness of the visual tension resulting from the multiplicity of contrasts serves as a strong attraction towards a part or several parts of the artwork .
