TANI TELAS, the pseudonym for French
artist Stéphanie Navarro, was born in Oran, Algeria, and draws upon
a rich Franco-Spanish heritage. While deeply rooted in her
Mediterranean base in Corsica, Navarro cultivated a rigorous
intellectual foundation, earning a Master's degree in Hispanic
Literature, Languages, and Arts from the University of Toulouse in
2011. Though passionate about Plastic Arts from childhood, her formal
artistic technique was refined in 2022–2023 under the tutelage of
painter Jorel Sergio in Corsica.
Tani Telas's vibrant and compelling
body of work serves as a manifesto of progressive abstraction. The
Mediterranean, far more than a geographical setting, is the
fundamental source of her inspiration and the emotive heart of her
expression.
The year 2025 has culminated in a
significant achievement for her international career: On December 1,
2025, Tani Telas was awarded the coveted Certificate of Artistic
Merit from the Luxembourg Art Prize (awarded by La Pinacothèque).
This major distinction is the pinnacle of a rapidly accelerating
career, which also includes multiple accolades such as three
Honorable Mention Awards from the TERAVARNA ART GALLERY.
Her commitment to exhibition is
intense and consistent, featuring both solo and collective shows
across Corsica and the Var region since 2018. The year 2025 will
continue to be punctuated by the launch of a major solo exhibition
series titled "Femme Med': Ancrage en Méditerranée"
(Mediterranean Woman: Anchor in the Mediterranean), with confirmed
dates on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) in Le Castellet, Six-Fours
Le Brusc, and La Londe-les-Maures.
An active participant in key artistic
networks (including ACN and La Cour Des Miracles Compagnie), Tani
Telas continues to enrich the field of contemporary abstract art,
offering a powerful synthesis of emotion, instinct, and profound
cultural rootedness.
