Illustration in the celebration of the longest night of the year- Yalda- celebrated in Iran. Traditionally, families gather the night around and read Hafiz or Shahname poems while enjoying a full table of pomegranate, watermelon, nuts, confectionaries and more.


This short animation was commissioned by GIPHY to celebrate Persian new year. This year, I wanted to acknowledge bravery of women in Iran fighting for their freedom. Traditionally, families grow a grain along side some other symbolic items such as, apple, vinegar, coins, mirror and candle,.. to set their festive table and listen to the clocks ticking for the exact moment of equinox to celebrate Nowruz, New Day.


Look who sat patiently for a body paint in celebration of Chineese new year!

Niloufar Lovegrove, isochallenge in response to Albert Tucker’s “Girl Surprised”, 2021, digital illustration.
I had a picture in my head to work on Albert Tucker’s “Girl Surprised” one of Rockhampton Art Gallery’s quarantine time challenge but didn’t seem to get the time I hoped for so just a quick sketch to get it out of my system! I was specially excited about this piece because I used it alongside Arthur Murch’s “ Boy and dog” two years ago in a project called “Collection Intervention” that was about challenging 6 local CQ artists in creating a new work based on the Rockhapton Art Gallery’s inspiring collection. What I did was to bring some of Murch’s peaceful atmosphere and feel to the surprised armless girl lost in the dark landscape. This time I just wanted to add the flow of river and a little boy while brightening her landscape colour scheme. She can’t be trapped in an unfortunate dark destiny forever, so there you go girl, there you go! ;-)
