Tani Telas

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.
