Information about the artist / the group

Hi! I am Sahar Ajami, a Helsinki-based illustrator. I enjoy illustrating emotions and telling stories through images. I grew up in Iran seeing strong women fight for their rights, which made me passionate about creating impactful illustrations to make a difference. With a focus on women, my illustrations address social and emotional issues and human rights.
My practice includes visual art, illustration, graphic design, cartoons and picture books. My projects range from editorial illustrations to award-winning cartoons. My work has been published in numerous books and art catalogues. I’m a member of Globe Art Point Helsinki, Yö ry association and The Finnish Illustration Association Kuvittajat ry.

Program during Konstrundan

Welcome to the art exhibition in my studio!
My works will be on display in my studio during the event. I myself will be there during the entire event, and I will be happy to talk about my art and my working methods. We can enjoy a cup of coffee and some snacks together. There will be some art supplies for kids and adults to create a piece of art.
