Artist Statement
I am a visual artist, musician, and scientist with a multinational, multiethnic background. I draw inspiration from translating between the visual language of art, the sonic language of music, the body language of dance, and the abstract language of science. I currently explore the colour of emotion, intuition, and insight through abstract painting.
Previously, I blended music, visual art, and evolutionary genetics to understand how music without lyrics can evoke strong emotions. I also produced collaborative, cross-disciplinary, multimedia projects, inviting other visual artists, musicians, composers, scientists, mathematicians, and dancers to explore the ideas with me. I participated as director, producer, visual artist, composer, and/or musician. My work takes the forms of digital art, installation, musical composition, painting, sculpture, and tapestry. -Tia Vellani, 2026 Artist Biography
