Tamanna Rohani

Artist, Educator, Freelance Graphic Designer & Illustrator

I am Tamanna Rohani, a visual and conceptual artist, art workshop instructor, and freelance graphic designer and illustrator. I hold a Master’s degree in Visual Communication & Multimedia, specializing in corporate design from ECV Paris.
After two years of training in sculpture and contemporary art in Tehran, I moved to Paris to study graphic design at ECV.
My studies opened the doors to the prestigious Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, where I was able to further develop my skills.

I also spent several months in Berlin to continue adding nuance and color to my artistic approach.

My artistic approach engages all five senses; I draw inspiration from cinema, music, daily life, all forms of contemporary art, and classical art.

My approach is focused on symbolism, multiculturalism, society, and integrated visual journeys.

A visual identity or a work of art is more than just an image; it is an opening to others, the expression of a powerful message to the world, and a wonderful cultural reflection. Symbols are part of our daily lives—they are us.
