"Spring Is Coming" by Tellas captures the anticipation of spring's return, blending visions of a sunset over the sea with a tropical forest's fantasy. Dusty pink, orange, and yellow hues transition to deeper blues, reminiscent of Mediterranean sunsets. Geometric lines and patterns evoke an 80s nostalgia, modernized with soft blendings. Hand-drawn leaves showcase diverse patterns, transitioning from red to blue and green, creating an idealized tropical garden. The artwork serves as a decorative and uplifting piece, infusing a tropical vibe into any space, reminding us that better days are always on their way back."
About the artist
Tellas was born in 1985 in Cagliari. His work embodies a personal and intimate vision of the natural elements that define the landscape around him, stemming from his upbringing in Sardinia. Each piece is the result of a meditative process that combines spatial qualities, shapes, and species of the surrounding environment. He expresses his style through various mediums, including drawing, painting, printing techniques, installations, and audio-video production, showcasing his commitment to creating and experimenting with different art forms.
Participating in numerous international events, some of the most notable include the "La Tour Paris Project" in 2013, considered one of the most innovative contemporary art projects worldwide, and "Artmossphere," the first street-art Biennale held in Moscow in 2014, featuring 70 artists from around the world. In 2015, his work was featured in The Urban Contemporary Art Guide, edited by Graffiti Art Magazine, where he ranked among the world’s best 100 emerging artists of 2015. That same year, he completed an extensive public artwork in Cagliari, then Italian Capital of Culture, and opened a personal show titled "Clima Estremo" at Wunderkammern Gallery in Rome.
In the following years, he was invited for several significant public artworks in Madrid (Spain), Helsinki (Finland), Albany and Perth (Australia). He returned to Australia in 2017 to create the mural "The Barrier" in Townsville, Queensland, which inspired his personal exhibition "Tropico," held at the Magma Gallery in Bologna.
Tellas's work has garnered the attention of leading Italian fashion brands, including Ferragamo and Marni, leading to numerous collaborations. His collaboration with Marni was documented in "A grande terra do Sertão," presented at the 56th Venice Biennale.
Taking his sun-drenched vision across the globe, Tellas has created public artworks in Atlanta (USA), Klaipeda (Lithuania), Delhi (India), Montreal (Canada), and Kaohsiung (Taiwan), in addition to cities in Italy such as Rome and Palermo. He is represented by Wunderkammern Gallery in Rome, Magma Gallery in Bologna, and Rhodes Contemporary in London.
