Tellas (Cagliari, Sardinia, 1985) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. Growing up in the rugged landscape of Sardinia taught him to explore non-urban aesthetics. This translates into artworks that offer a personal and intimate vision of natural landscape elements. His meditative process of combining space and form defines his art. As such, his creations can be seen as studies brought to life across a wide variety of walls, canvases, installations, or even a simple piece of paper. He delves into the intricate interplay between form and space, exploring pristine wilderness to extract singular motifs.

Tellas’s works are often composed of various tones of a single color. His delicate, nature-inspired line work is rich in detail, meticulously bringing his chosen motifs to life. He repeats these patterns seamlessly to fill the surfaces he works on. Tellas is one of the rare street artists who does not aim to convey overt political messages, choosing instead to craft remarkable, meditative masterpieces that evoke a genuine sense of well-being for the viewer.

The Huffington Post named him one of the 25 most interesting street artists worldwide. Tellas channels his creativity across diverse media: drawing, painting, installations, printmaking, and even audio-video productions. The artist has also been featured in numerous art guides, magazines, and publications.

Alongside a vast and seemingly endless collection of murals in his portfolio (such as his public murals and installations featured in the documentary “A Grande terra do Sertão” during a month-long artistic residency in Brazil with Roberto Ciredz), his participation in shows, festivals, and exhibitions forms a major pillar of his artistic journey. From Australia to Russia and across Latin America, he showcases mesmerizing artworks that all tie back to his younger self growing up in Sardinia.
