Contemporary Filipino artist
LanderBlanza
Painter. Sculptor. Publisher. Columnist. A working visual voice moving between harvest, city, landscape, faith, and material form.
Blanza's work keeps returning to the sun: a steady disk over labor, commute, prayer, mountain, city, and memory. The result is accessible without becoming simple, bright without becoming decorative.

Objects with weather in them.
The sculpture body uses brass, stone, and acacia to turn bonsai and bamboo into compact monuments: rooted, resilient, quietly ceremonial.
Lander Blanza
Art as memory, labor, and becoming.
Lander Blanza's practice moves through the landscapes, streets, harvests, and devotional images that shape Filipino life. His paintings often return to the sun as a quiet witness, while his sculptures turn rooted forms into symbols of patience, endurance, and renewal.
