Description Strolling around my mother's village in the province of Seville, Spain I witness this beautiful sunset. It was a great moment of silence, only interrupted by some birds trying to find a good spot to sleep in the trees during the approaching night. The smell of the red earth, the twisted old trunks of the olive trees and the sun disappearing behind the mountains made me think about distant times.ORIGINAL AVAILABLE FOR SALE 12 x 16' www.josemiguelblanco.com

Jose Miguel Blanco, Austin, Texas
Member Since February 2016
Artist Statement Born in Seville, Spain, Jose was interested in Arts from an early age. After attending the School of Arts in Seville he established an art studio along with his brother Juan Antonio.
At his studio Jose embarked on his artistic career producing oil paintings. His subjects were mostly rooted in the scenes from his upbringing – landscapes, architecture, street scenes, gardens, religious traditions and bright Moorish architecture.
His oil paintings are greatly influenced by Spanish artists such as Murillo, Velazquez, Sorolla, Garcia Aranda and many others. He copied the works of these masters as part of his artistic training. Over the years Jose’s paintings have evolved into the colorful art he creates today. His vibrant palette and brush-work produces beautiful and romantic images. His paintings were sold from his studio and he also exhibited his work at several galleries in Seville.
In 2002, Jose moved to Austin, Texas, where he set up his studio.
The subjects of Jose’s oil paintings are now mostly portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, nature and religious themes.
He also paints “en plein air” using small canvases that later he extrapolates on a larger one at his studio.
