Portrait of artist by photographer Elena Kuroda

Charity Blansit is a Barcelona-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans drawing, mixed media, installation, and performance. Working primarily with found, discarded, and repurposed materials, she responds to the urgent environmental crisis and challenges systems of overconsumption and waste.

Originally from a self-sustaining farm in the Ozarks of Missouri, Blansit’s early experiences with land-based living deeply inform her artistic language. Her work is guided by a sensitivity to materials and their histories, an intuitive, conceptual approach that transforms overlooked remnants into poetic, politically charged forms.

Blansit’s practice is grounded in research and material exploration, shaped by her academic background in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology. Themes of balance, impermanence, ritual, and memory emerge throughout her work, which often invites reflection on how the personal and environmental are deeply entangled.

Through installations, performative gestures, and drawing interventions, she creates quiet yet insistent spaces that examine our relationship to the natural world, consumer culture, and the unseen stories objects carry. Her use of salvaged materials is not simply aesthetic but intentional, offering resistance, reverence, and renewal.

Blansit mostly works and exhibits in Spain and is continually developing works that blend site-responsiveness with material sensitivity. Her studio practice is process-led and often incorporates intimate acts of repair, reassembly, and quiet observation.
