Don Antonio Maria Blanco (15 September 1912 – 10 December 1999) was a painter born in the Ermita district of Manila. Blanco died on December 10, 1999, in Denpasar, Bali.

Antonio Maria Blanco was born in the Ermita district of Manila, Philippine Islands, to Don Antonio Blanco y Álvarez de Mendieta a criollo from Quingua, Bulacan, and Elisa Manuela, an orphan from Tortosa.

He initially lived and worked in Florida and California before developing an interest in the islands of the Pacific Ocean, inspired by artists such as Paul Gauguin and José Miguel Covarrubias. Though he planned to travel to Tahiti, his journey took him to Hawaii, Japan, and Cambodia, where he was a guest of honor of Prince Norodom Sihanouk.

In 1952, Blanco arrived in Bali, and in 1953, he married Ni Ronji, a traditional Balinese dancer. Bali provided Blanco with key elements for his artistic development, including its scenic beauty, dreamlike atmosphere, and rich artistic culture.

Settled in Bali, Blanco built a house and museum in Ubud, where many of his paintings are displayed.

The land on which the construction was erected was given to Blanco by the King of Ubud, Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati. Blanco's paintings primarily focus on women, and his style is characterized by romantic-expressive and dreamy qualities.

Blanco received numerous awards, including the Tiffany Fellowship from The Society of Honolulu Artists, the Chevalier du Sahametrai of Cambodia, recognition from the Society of Painters of Fine Art Quality under President Sukarno, and the Prize of the Art Critique in Spain. He was also awarded the Order of Cruz de Caballero by King Juan Carlos I of Spain, granting him the use of the honorific "Don."

Blanco's paintings have been appreciated by numerous collectors, including actress Ingrid Bergman, Mexican singer and actress Thalía, Indonesia's first President Sukarno, the second President Suharto, former Vice President Adam Malik, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, and musician Michael Jackson, among others.
