My name is Tehani Farr.
I'm a Mexican/British Traditional Cover Artist and Graphic Illustrator, but most of all, I'm a story teller.
I grew up since early childhood in a self sufficient home in the mountains of Veracruz Mexico “El Bosque de la Niebla” (The Fog Forest), in the middle of a mysterious Forest located under the reminisces of a dead volcano, a Natural Reserve thriving with life, folk tales and lots of mist. I feel that the isolation mixed with the storytelling nature of my both parents and their constant interest in sustainability created a very unique vision of the world for me.
Since I can remember world-building has been my passion; I create and reinterpret, I tell stories through art and illustration: of imaginative realities, from the past, into the future, and through to other lands. My paintings traverse within the spectrum of fantastic and esoteric realism, emphasizing the beauty, strength and strangeness of the ancestral, the eccentricity of the unknown, powerful and seductive, forgotten tribes; gods and warriors, inter-dimensional beings…
Built into futuristic post-apocalyptic dystopias that tell stories influenced by my own life experiences and multicultural background, focusing on female empowerment which has inordinately motivated my personal journey through fashion, literature & comics.
Can't wait to meet everyone, to share more of my journey, and learn about yours...
