Tatiana Blanqué, an artist from Sant Cugat (Barcelona) born in 1971, creates work that invites a profound reflection on the intricate connections within our ecosystems. Through her paintings, sculptures, and installations, Blanqué explores the vital role of trees, woods, and forests as the backbone of nature’s delicate balance. These natural elements are not only sources of life but also powerful symbols of resilience and interconnectedness.
BIOGRAPHY
Art it’s always been present in my life.
I am a descendant of a family widely associated with the world of fashion, photography and design, in which I grow my first passions for painting and art.
My paternal grandmother was a photographer in Barcelona at the beginning of the 20th century, and my maternal grandfather traveled to the United States so as to be able to import the pret-a-porter to Spain. So, I guess that all of their history and their passion for creativity, became to me as a need to explore the artistic.
The search for the "reason for being" is reflected in each one of the collections that have been carried out. My need for always finding a way out and my persistence in understanding how our environment can affect us directly, and we affect it, has been and continues to be my "life motvie".
I want to find the authenticity in our reality, whatever it may be, I like how and in what way people is reflected in the mirrors and how its own shadow delimits its reason for being. As we duplicate and get lock in chosen scenarios, sometimes by ourselves. I need to pick up small pieces of reality and lock them up in spaces geometrically perfect in order to enjoy them and control them.
It is at this time, the nature, which forms a direct part of my life, is the one that gives me the opportunity to delve into my thoughts. The purity, the authentic nudity, the ability to live together, the order but messy, the "semi-noisy" silence, the feeling of solitude collection, the light, the shadows…. All interpreted on timeless white spaces that only explains what you want to read. Personal sceneries, authentic, translucent, silent, mine and yours.
After my chpter at the University of Fine Arts, my artistic journey focuses on the international presence with exhibitions in Rome, New York, Amsterdam, Paris, Andorra, as well as in Barcelona, Girona, Granollers, Pamplona, Bilbao and Madrid. My taste for writing allowed me to spend 4 years of my life to art criticism in a local newspaper, as well as to be a trainer in "Creative Motivation" for companies.
Now I dedicate my time to painting and the volume,exhibitions and art fairs, as well as to my sessions of Creative Traingin for companies, curated exhibitions and everything that has to do with the plastic-artistic communication.
I hope the passion for my creative curiosity with all its content and concept can get to be a part of all of you.
