​Oil Paintings by Jose M. Blanco

Jose M. Blanco was born in Seville, Spain. In that city he lived and studied until he was 37 years old when he decided to move with his wife and children to Austin, Texas, where he established his art studio and residence. While living in Seville, he had an art studio along with his brother Juan A. Blanco, a well-known Seville religious sculptor. www.blancoart.weebly.com

Once in Austin, Jose M. Blanco began designing and creating mosaics for custom home builders and homeowners. Mosaics are another artistic activity along with oil painting for Jose.  After more than a decade alternating mosaic art and painting, Jose decided to devote his time to his real passion: oil painting.

Influenced by the cultural heritage of his hometown and by Sevillian artists like Murillo and Velazquez and by other artists like Sorolla and Sargent, Jose's paintings are full of light and colors.

He creates commissioned oil painted portraits and paintings on Spanish, Texas and a variety of other themes.
