About the artist

Hello, and thanks for visiting my site. My name is Cyrus Ghalambor and I am an Iranian-American calligrapher and visual artist. I was born in Ann Arbor, MI, and have spent most of my adult life in the United States. I have been active in the arts since 2018.

My art is inspired by music, which is in turn, inspired by old and new Persian poetry. The subjects vary from love, to personal, social, and political struggle. Regardless of the topic, there is always the element of struggle, the unknown, and of course, the beautiful.

I can’t draw. Instead I write, and the letters in the script serve as a sort of design language for the whole series. Most of my projects are based on special scripts I invented to help convey a particular song or poem.
