Tannia Taranto is a self-taught contemporary artist working and living in Melbourne, Australia.

Tannia has a passion for art which she has used to turn personal encounters into imaginative and inventive artwork.  Having worked for a number of years as a Graphic Artist/Producer in the television industry and currently in IT administration, it was a suggestion from a friend that motivated Tannia to submit a piece of her work to a charity fundraising event.  Her art was so well received that this occasion changed her artistic direction and inspired her to realise the significance of her work.    

Much of Tannia’s work is inspired by the world of fashion and nude photography; finding to balance the rawness and power of the female body with a sophisticated and aesthetic portrayal.

Taking inspiration from nature, architecture and interior design, her latest abstract series EVOLUTION is a turning point in her art career. Reflecting on natural elements from land and sea to create a refined and organic statement pieces of art.
