Tania Lebedeff was born in Germany in 1949.

She obtained a diploma in drawing from the Southern Massachusetts University in 1989 and a B.A. degree in artistic education from the UQAM - University of Québec in Montréal in 1971. In 1970, she completed a diploma at the School of Fine Arts of Montreal
Tania Lebedeff's quest is to rely on the process of creation where constant transformation plays an essential role. Carried by an insatiable curiosity to discover her essence, she uncovers herself through her aesthetic language. The painter tries to create images that liberate the eye from all alienating pre-conceptions. She eliminates the trite and draws the spectator into the edge of the visible and the invisible, the known and the unknown: so many paintings… so many explorations… so many mirrors… so many questions… so many mysteries. Tania Lebedeff explores, with free movement and vibrating rich colours, compositions that may be figurative or abstract which are contained within or overflow the frame. Her works express life and its chaos, its pulsations, its contradictions and its enigmas.

Tania Lebedeff received a First Prize in painting from The Cultural Table of the Valley of Richelieu in 2000 as well as an Honourable Mention from the Demidoff Foundation of Montreal in 1998. In 2002, her work was selected for a special exhibition in Tokyo and in Mishima, Japan, before being on exhibition at the Mont-Saint-Hilaire Art Museum in Québec.
