Carmela Blanco is an Argentine artist born in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1966). She studied drawing and painting under the tutelage of the famous artist Kazu Takeda, however, her training was not limited to that: she also worked with the renowned sculptor Ricardo de la Serna, which led her to discover her true passion for sculpture, with the master Filgueira Otamendi where she incorporates oil painting and with Poli Costa with whom she investigated abstraction in painting thus broadening her artistic approach. Together with Poli Costa, from 2006 to 2013 she was part of the creative collective Grupo Costa-Blanco.
