About

Nikoo Bafti is an Iranian-British Visual Artist and Illustrator living in Rome, Italy. After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Illustration & FdA in Visual Communication from the Arts University of Bournemouth, Nikoo began her career as an Animation Development Intern at Disney Channels in London and has since established her own freelance practice as an Illustrator and Visual Artist. Her clients include The Philosophical Research Society, Disney Channel & Truly Hard Seltzer.

Nikoo's work takes a look behind a thinning veil to a realm of the mystical and anomalous through her intensely saturated and arresting colour palettes. Her use of fine detail and delicate, emblematic markings are reminiscent of the traditional Persian Miniature painting style of her heritage.

Nikoo is currently a Contributing Artist at the Philosophical Research Society.
