Album Info:

All seven children of renowned artist Jose “Pitok” V. Blanco employ their father’s painting style. Breaking away from the Botong Francisco tradition, the Blanco family paintings are very natural or closer to reality. Compared to the vibrant colors of the Botong-inspired paintings, the Blancos often use brown tones to effect a more somber depiction of reality. It is also interesting to note that Pitok Blanco’s wife and children are often the subject of his works, whether they are fleeing an Angono fire, are in deep prayer, or as infant angels surrounding Christ. Paintings portraying rural life outdoors are more colorful, each done with painstaking detail.
