Stefania Tejada (1990) is a Colombian artist based in Paris, France. Her work explores the evolution of the female spirit, threading nature and womanhood coming together into an unequivocal wake-up call towards reconnecting with our origins, the infinite source of life.

Her work is a journey from the vantage point of her Colombian identity opening a dialogue between cultures and ultimately transplanting the fashion world within her own land. Her work is a play on possibilities, reinterpreting moments in history breeding new life into established imagery. The artist creates a visual language in her paint stripping stigmatized concepts with a new meaning. A signature of her work is the piercing gaze of women staring back at the viewer, they are intended to hide as much as to reveal.

Her poetic and enigmatic scenes become beautifully complex metaphors that call back to nature as the source of all life and knowledge. The pieces are intended to stare at us, to haunt us, planting an inception of questions along the way through the codifying language displayed within each piece.

Tejada’s exhibitions include New York, Bogotá, London and Paris.
