Tribute to First Nations and Indigenous Peoples
Ancestral Spirits – Tribute to the First Peoples
A collection imbued with memory, spirituality and deep respect
Through this collection, Johanne Blaquière explores the deep soul of the First Nations:
their sacred connection to the earth, their transmitted wisdom, their silent strength.
Each work becomes a visual song, a drumbeat to the rhythm of history and spirit.
Memory, pride and resilience
The views depicted carry within them centuries of traditions, struggles, and preserved identity.
They tell without a word, conveying the dignity, spiritual connection and collective strength of a people rooted in the living world.
A symbolic and vibrant palette
Ochres of sacred lands, reds of life and courage, deep blues like the skies or rivers...
Each color evokes a natural element, a story, a connection.
It is a living painting, inhabited by meaning and intuition.
Symbols, rites and continuity
Feathers, traditional beadwork, drums, ornaments…
Every detail honors the traditions, ceremonies and stories passed down from generation to generation.
Art here becomes a bridge between the visible and the invisible, between past and present.
An artistic presence that invites listening and openness
These works are much more than portraits: they are watchmen, silent witnesses, bearers of memory and transmission.
They remind us that there is another way of inhabiting the world: in dialogue with nature, history, and the sacred.
