Parisa Akbari Shahraki

Parisa Akbari Shahraki was born in 1979 in Tehran. She is a member of the Iranian Illustrators Association and works as an illustrator of children’s and young adult books. Her interest in illustration was reignited when she rediscovered her childhood drawings and remembered how easily and carefree she once created images. Old objects remind her of the simple world of her childhood, and by incorporating them into her work, she brings that same joy and excitement into the present.
