Etesami
“Whispers of Her Solitude is a series of illustrations of eight important women who spent countless hours working in isolation to challenge barriers, shift public beliefs, and inspire positive change that resulted in moving the world forward.”

Nasrin Etesami is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Tkaronto/Toronto, Canada.Her practice spans illustration, graphic design, and motion-based work, centred on human interconnectedness shaped by nature and contemporary culture. The subjects Etesami depicts often exist in vast, peaceful, and timeless settings. Through colour and texture, she explores themes of belonging, familiarity, and the quiet narratives found in everyday life.
