FOLLOWING A TRAIL
‘Following a Trail’, Tatiana Blanqué's exhibition, immerses us in a profound reflection on the complex relationship between nature and humanity. Blanqué highlights the duality of this connection: nature pursues us to stop us, alert us, refresh us, invade us, protect us and heal us, while we pursue it to ensure our survival, even without being fully aware of it.
Blanqué's artistic philosophy intertwines art and nature through simplicity, organicity, naturalness and respect for the environment. Her work, focused on trees, earth, grass and stones, is presented in a timeless context, accompanied by a powerful star, conveying the artist's concern about the possible disappearance of the natural landscape.
This exhibition at Cristina Enea takes on a protest tone, urgent in its call for the preservation of the natural habitat as a guide on our path. Blanqué proposes turning nature into our spirituality, fostering a deep and respectful connection with the environment.

METAMORPHOSIS
For a long time now, I have been reflecting on how we are ruining our planet, the pain we are inflicting on it, and how these wounds have a direct impact on us.
The need to understand how our environment has an impact and leaves its mark on every strand that makes up our lives has been and continues to be the driving force that pushes me to seek answers and transfer them onto a blank canvas.
I seek authenticity in our daily lives, whatever form it may take. I like how and in what way it presents itself to us, and how our own shadow defines our reason for being. I like to choose small fragments of natural reality and frame a part of them in specific geometries, focusing on what interests me. To enjoy and control this, we need to respect nature. I want people to understand the importance it has in our lives, that we have to raise awareness in society so that we do not destroy what gives us life: nature.
Consistent with my work and conceptualisation, I feel art as a need to express my emotions and feelings and as a platform from which to dialogue with the viewer about current consciousness. Convinced that art and nature are bound by indestructible ties, my work philosophy pays tribute to the importance of simplicity of organic reality, of natural reality and, above all, of authenticity.
The tree, the earth, the stones we walk on, always accompanied by a powerful star, in a context without temporal limits, define my current work and convey my concern to prevent the natural landscape from disappearing. My artistic project thus takes on the character of a protest ideology: ‘the natural habitat must continue to guide and accompany us always in our lives’.
The trunks, leaves, branches, the light of the moon and the volumes laden with memory are seen from within and now burst into the work, revealing their authenticity, without disguise, showing themselves as they are.
And because cooking is also an art, the art that engages all our senses by transforming the fruits of the earth into little gems, I wanted to pay tribute to this group of alchemists who sweeten our battered world.

CUTANEOUS METAMORPHOSIS
For many years now, I have dedicated my work as a visual artist to a respect for nature, to the need to seek out what is most authentic, most uncontaminated, and most openly respectful of the environment: in short, that which oxygenates and welcomes us, allowing us to live and enrich ourselves from what it offers. In my latest series, the trees weep and nature breaks: they weep with sadness or hope, they break with despair, neglect, and a lack of care.
These days, I have felt an even greater need to relive what it means to be surrounded by trees, silence, scents and a breeze: I have been able to touch it, but I haven't been allowed to do so with my hands; we have needed a filter so as not to get infected. The filter, however, like all our habits, has adapted to the situation, has undergone a natural metamorphosis and has felt the same need as I did to become what I wanted: that is why I have transformed them into nature, and they have begun to exude health.
Now, however, what comes to mind is what would have happened if the virus had attacked nature?
Could it be that it's sending us a warning message?
