Jose Blanco

Jose Blanco is a Mexican visual artist based in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur. Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, he captures the vivid landscapes, native plants, wildlife, and cultural rhythms of the Baja desert and coastline. His work blends elements of Post-Impressionism and modern pop color theory, drawing inspiration from artists like Van Gogh and Matisse, while staying rooted in the textures and traditions of northern Mexico.

Blanco's vibrant paintings explore the interplay between nature and memory, often featuring cardón cacti, desert foxes, agave plants, and coastal cliffs, rendered with expressive brushwork and bold palettes. He seeks to celebrate the resilience and beauty of desert life while reflecting the emotional richness of his environment.

His art appeals to collectors who value regional storytelling, natural beauty, and authentic color narratives from Latin America. Jose’s work has gained visibility both locally and internationally through platforms like Instagram and Saatchi Art.

I was influenced from childhood by the art. I learned for my sister who has been a renowned painting teacher for more than 20 years.

I develop my work in an artistic, bohemian and altruistic environment concerned with the environment, mother nature and a simple and cheerful lifestyle.

In the last 15 years I living from my art and painted more than 250 paintings.
