Pablo Casado, born in Madrid, Spain, always felt a special attraction toward the shapes of Arabic calligraphy, but didn't encounter the reed pen until 2008, when he attended a brief introductory course on Naskh (nesih) calligraphy. He traveled to Istanbul for the first time in 2009, studied extensively under calligraphy masters, and in 2014, after devoting himself completely to learning this art, he received his icazet or calligraphy diploma in sülüs and nesih styles from IRCICA (Research Center for Islamic History Art and Culture), signed by the masters Hassan Çelebi, Ferhat Kurlu and Nuria García.
