style

Bianchet describes her medium to large format pictures as "emotional landscapes". For these she mainly uses large sheets of plywood as image carriers, which she works on with a knife and then paints. The cuts leave structures in the abstract picture surface, which are reminiscent of landscapes, often seeming surreal with unnatural colors, unreal plants and non-objective colored surfaces. Romantic environments, such as lonely forests and lakes in the moonlight, are juxtaposed with the mystical and gloomy. Bianchet often also uses photographic works as a template, in which the artist, partly equipped with simple accessories or painted with body paint, stages herself in the surrounding nature. Other works by Bianchet are figurative pictures of brightly made-up women with large eyes, as nudes or portraits , sometimes surrounded by words or scraps of sentences.
