As an individual who finds solace in the arts, Llanes is perpetually inspired by the myriad of challenges and opportunities presented by the world around him. The unprecedented events of 2020 have only served to underline the importance of adaptability and creativity, and as such, Llanes has made it a personal mission to capture these themes in his work. Much like a scuba diver exploring uncharted territory, he seeks to delve deeper into the human experience and express the intangible through his paintings from the “tourist” series.

Llanes aims to provide an honest reflection of society, its interests, and its ideologies. He believes that art can communicate complex emotions and ideas and can serve as a catalyst for change. Llanes is passionate about capturing the wonder and beauty of the natural world and fostering a greater appreciation for it in his viewers. By doing so, he hopes to inspire a sense of awe and respect for our planet and the many creatures that call it home.

In a world that can often feel consumerist and technology-driven, Llanes believes that art can serve as a powerful counterbalance. It allows people to step back from their routines, reevaluate what truly matters, and connect with the world more deeply. As an artist, he feels a responsibility to use his work to raise awareness and inspire appreciation, and he is committed to this mission in all that he does. Llanes believes that art has the power to transform lives and is honored to be able to contribute to this transformative process.
