Aftri Marriska

Lettering Artist

Aftri is a multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer based in Pontianak, Indonesia.

After sharing our selected quotes with Aftri for our Imagine That series, she thoroughly researched the concepts and sources to create multidimensional handlettering illustrations brimming with subtle references. As part of the Illuminations initiative, Aftri’s four original pieces invite participants to consider the transformative role of the arts in social and personal change.

She was originally trained in an IT environment before changing her career to art in 2018. Her current works focus on lettering combined with playful and meticulous illustration. She works both in traditional and digital spaces, and loves to explore mixed material in her traditional work. Lettering is a way for Aftri to express her feelings and silly ideas. — via aftrimarriska .com
