Known for transforming everyday materials into powerful flag artworks now housed in major American museums, Blanco is also building a remarkable private collection of Latin American art that honors his heritage. With works by legends like Fernando Botero and Dรฉbora Arango, and a new focus on American artists, his collection tells a deeply personal story of identity, culture, and evolution.
