With each brushstroke, Roanna Tella maps the shifting terrain between emotion and memory, vulnerability and resilience. Rooted in introspection, her practice reimagines the human form through gestural abstraction, inviting us to witness how the body can carry both rest and rupture.
In her newest body of work, Foreboding Tales, Roanna turns inward, tracing the delicate rituals that tether us to joy and grounding, even in the midst of uncertainty. Through the symbolism of plants and quiet daily gestures, she asks: how we hold beauty and distress in the same breath?
Roanna holds a B.A in Visual Arts from the University of Lagos and has exhibited widely across Nigeria and internationally. Her evolving practice continues to deepen through mentorship and a commitment to emotional truth in visual form.
