She is an artist with African roots, daughter of the first generation of immigrants born in the Spanish colonies who came to study and work in Barcelona. After the death of her mother, who never spoke of her African roots, Bianca Batlle Nguema set out on a journey to discover and experience her origins. Ever since then, she has been using her artistic work to explore the consequences of being a person of mixed parentage in a country where she is also part of an ethnic minority. Batlle Nguema tries to capture the complex and significant path of discovering her identity in every one of her paintings.
