blanco dancer

gold painted statue of balinese dancer at the roof of blanco renaissance museum on campuan, ubud, bali. the maestro of expressive-romantic paintings, spanish-american artist, don antonio maria blanco, was born on september 15, 1912 in the ermite district of manila. he went to bali in 1952 and married his balinese model and a dancer, ni ronji in 1953 which has given him the essential elements he needed to develop his artistical genius: the beautiful landscape, the dreamlike atmosphere, the omnipresence of art and love. he built in ubud a house-museum which is in fact his magic retreat, made to his own image and resemblance from where he rarely comes out. one can not talk about blanco without talking about women, because woman are the focus of his work. it could be said that blanco is the painter of the ‘feminine eternal’.
