In her paintings, Andreea Talpeanu also details mutations. The "DDmix Hyper-plants" series, of which RoZ46 is a part, presents current transformations in nature. The artist displays the transformed vegetation, with “RoZe” chlorophyll and golden branches. In this work, one of the attributes of hyper modernism is exposed: the replacement of reality with its particularities. Indeed, nature is increasingly replaced by fabrics with plant motifs, plants become more and more artificial, to the point of absurdity. Andreea Talpeanu appeals to the senses, here using strong contrasting colors in order to enthrall the viewer, while seducing them. These colors, often pop, although arranged with organic, black, mourning threads, refer to mass culture and want to recall the absurd frenzy of a so-called renewal. This ''Hyper-plants DDmix'' vegetation, attractive and indecent, calls for the semiotics of fabrics (lace, camouflage, sequins, etc.) and combines the seductive qualities of Mother Nature, of synthesis, which charms us all , such as consumer products. Apart from nature, the questioning that arises is also about seduction. In a society governed by the advertising machine, kitsch is an element of benevolence and attraction. It is from this point of view that Andreea Talpeanu's works flirt with kitsch. Milan Kundera announces that ''kitsch is the screen that hides death'', but it is no longer kitsch when he denounces the thing behind it.

Weaving against wasteland A statement by Clare Mary Puyfoulhoux "Growing up in Romania in the eighties might be one of the reasons why Andreea Talpeanu engaged in such an unusual field of artistic expression. But saying that says nothing. Because what Andreea does, she does it with her fingers, with fabric and with talent but she also does it with her brain and heart. Her productions are woven in a political statement against all the waste modernity produces. They are the tamed expression of something raw that grows inside of her and needs to come out, something that cannot remain silent. What Andreea’s hands create is an aesthetic reaction to the things that disturb her: half broken chairs left to die in the streets, abandoned pieces of clothing that can still shine, neglected lands people transit through without even noticing the way their modern life ruins them. As such, her gesture could be seen as ethical. And it is, ethical, but it is more than that. Untamable, the feelings she is, as a human being, nearly oppressed by, found a way of transforming themselves into something aesthetical through the constant, uncompromising and meticulous work she produces. Fighting with the means of an old lady (pieces of cloth, wool and threads) against an over leisurely society doesn’t necessarily mean yesterday was a golden age. Andreea Talpeanu’s work is more a delicate expression of faith than an aggressive protestation. Turning garbage into flesh, building beautiful and elegant bodies: the gesture is a generous gift of life to objects otherwise worse thandead, erased. Sewing is something the artist learnt with her grandma. Sewing is something women do, historically. When Andreea Talpeanu sews though, it has nothing to do with womanhood. It is more like building a meaning and direction. Like a reversed version of Ariadne's thread, the artist draws material lines around fragments of the world. She doesn’t come from outside the maze in order to save trapped humans or fight against mythological creatures without losing herself. On the contrary, she is inside the maze/world/trap and tries to find a way out of it by means of material exploration. And this gesture is all the more it explains why she studied architecture. It answers one of the most crucial questions of life: how does one relate to space and time?" "What Andreea Talpeanu does, she does it with her fingers, with fabric and with talent but she also does it with her brain and heart.
