Faranak Vlinder

Independent Calligraphy and Lettering Artist

Faranak Vlinder is a calligraphy and lettering artist from Iran. Her fascination with the shapes of letters began in childhood and led her to explore Persian calligraphy (Arabic scripts) during her visual arts studies.

Faranak thrives on exploring the forms and nuances of various scripts. Her vibrant calligraphy paintings blend colors, patterns, and scripts from multiple languages, including English, Persian, and more recently, Japanese Kanji. Through her work, she seeks to uncover the cultural essence and spirit of nations hidden within their scripts.

She describes herself as a butterfly hovering over lush gardens of letters and patterns—diving into their beauty, then soaring to capture the fleeting emotions of the moment.
