Tatiana Blanqué is a visual artist born in Barcelona (Sant Cugat de Vallès, 1971) and holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Sant Jordi Academy (UB).

Espai Cavallers Gallery

With a career of almost two decades dedicated entirely to his vocation, he has obtained both national and international projection having exhibited in cities such as Rome, New York, Amsterdam, Paris and Andorra la Vella, as well as in Barcelona, ​​Girona, Lleida, Valencia, Pamplona, ​​Bilbao and Madrid.

Descendant of a family related to the world of fashion, photography and design for several generations, Tatiana has been linked to the world of painting since she was very young. This passion for creativity has marked his entire artistic career, just as the search for a reason for being has been reflected in each of his collections since the first exhibitions in the late 90s.

“My need to always find a way out and my insistence on understanding how our environment can affect us so directly and we to him have been and continue to be my engine. I want to find authenticity in our reality, be it the whatever it is, I like how and in what way we reflect in mirrors and how our own shadow delimits our reason for being.I like to choose small pieces of reality and close them in geometrically perfect spaces, although transparent, “I like nature to be the filter to be able, at the same time, to vindicate the extreme need that exists in protecting and respecting what it has given us and will always give us life, nature.” explains the artist.

Consistent in his work and conceptualization, he conceives art as a need to express his emotions and feelings and as a platform from which to dialogue about current consciousness. With the conviction that art and nature are united by indestructible ties, his work philosophy pays homage to the importance of simplicity, the organic, the natural and, above all, the authentic.

“Nature, which is directly part of my life, offers me the opportunity to enter my thoughts. Its purity, its nakedness, its diversity, its disorderly order, its semi-noisy silence , their feeling of collective loneliness, their lights and their shadows … All this, in contrast to the timeless blank canvas, explaining what everyone wants to read. Personal, true, silent sets, mine and yours “.

The tree and the land we tread, in a context without time limit, define Tatiana’s current work and convey her concern to prevent the natural landscape from disappearing. In this way, his artistic project acquires the character of a vindictive ideology: “natural habitat must continue to guide and accompany us. We cannot let it fall behind due to the hand of man…”

There was a time when Tatiana’s inspiration resided in the interior space rather than the exterior. Its beginnings, marked by color and oil painting on canvas, were starring characters, domestic environments and small things (tables, old glass cups, chairs…). The stain, little by little, began to give way to the line. A straight and architectural line used to delineate empty spaces
-But full of color- accompanied by naked figures surrounded by everyday life.At this stage, being was, for Tatiana, the nexus between the environmentand society.

With the appearance of windows in his imaginary, the exterior began to predominate over people. The trees, the leaves and their branches, seen from the inside, now burst into the artist’s work showing their authenticity, without disguising themselves, showing themselves as they are.
