Statement
Teresa Blanco acquired
the realization that the light of art shines within all our souls. Yet as human
beings we decide, at moments in our lives, usually the most inopportune, to abandon
ourselves to this feeling in order to be able to interpret life through its coded
beauty and transmit it to our fellow human beings.
It
is an act of love in this case rewarded through its amplification. Truly love
can liberate humankind, art also frees us from ourselves. For that art is the
most demanding on our ties. It is the medium in which we express our facility
to be individuals, to be unique, we put ourselves in front of the mirror of our
works and it judges us, in the manner of a child.
If
we are humble, attentive and intelligent, we can not help but take count of its
recriminations.
The artist has the right and the obligation
to express the multiple facets that comprise his personality, his contradictions,
and express them in a language that most truthfully reflects him.
Avoiding
simple and trivial language without creating temptation to want to be accepted
by everyone, the artist has the obligation with humanity to be a visionary in
his time, opening paths and showing them to the world.
