BIOGRAPHY

Elvia Teotski wasn’t initially destined to a career in the arts. She first studied science, and more precisely agricultural science. As well as allowing her to develop her methodological and experimental skills, this background also formed the starting point for her artistic process, based on a “cultural” appreciation of “natural” phenomena.

A graduate from the Toulon School of Fine Arts, Elvia is now developing her artistic research in the Marseille Municipal Art Studios. In 2013, she was selected for the Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean in Ancona (Italy). In 2014, her work was shown at Espace d’Art Concret in Mouans-Sartoux and at Château de Servières in Marseille. More recently, it was featured in group exhibition UptoDate at the Toulon Museum of Art.
