Saipher Zureti is a multi-disciplinary artist and writer from Chicago. He holds a bachelor's degree in graphic design. His current practice in digital portraiture and multi-script calligraphy is self-taught.

His ongoing portrait series, The Tao of I, draws figures from African, Sumerian, Indian, Chinese, and Mesoamerican cosmologies. Each portrait is built on a backdrop of mycelium-like structures and surrounded by calligraphy that runs in multiple scripts. His calligraphy work also exists as a stand-alone practice across Arabic, Amharic, Tibetan, Chinese, and Urdu, including the ambigram series and the sacred symbols series.

Outside the visual work, he publishes the Substack Black Radical Reflections, a book-length project of interconnected essays on identity, subjugation, decolonization, and the structures of power. His writing extends the same questions his portraits ask.

He works under one principle. As human beings we can either be creative or destructive. He chooses creation.
