Born in Philippines, the young Blanco studied at the American Central School in Manila, in which he grew with keen interest to arts, literature, and languages. In the early stages of his painting career, he had traveled to several Pacific Islands to expand his ability, including Bali, where he finally settled and raised his family in Ubud.
