He was educated at the Art Institute in Sassari; In 1950 he won the ‘Città di Sassari’ prize. The following year he moved to Rome, where Roman and Sardinian art blended to result in a dramatic painting with an intriguing atmosphere. Favorite subjects are still lifes and fishermen, boats, tanneries; the chromaticism of colours reach those of informal art.
Continuous experimentation led him in the 1960s to work of great impact, such as “”Lupi”” (= the wolves), in which the deformed bodies of animals radiate a wild energy, or “”Americani””. The artist seeks inspiration in the mass media, such as the independence revolts in Congo; At this stage, the palette is essential: the paint is applied to the canvas through newspaper sheets, giving the work a sense of decomposition.
Tanda’s concerns about the futures scientific developments are reflected in works such as the “”Ciborg””, mutant figures created by electrical wires. The continuous search for meaning and the constant dissatisfaction with the result achieved run through Tanda’s artistic excursion. He died in Rome in 1998.
