architec - visual artist

Carlos Llanes es un arquitecto y diseñador  cubano radicado  en Estados Unidos. Ha dedicado la mayor parte de su vida a las artes visuales y  su creatividad y temperamento lo han llevado a realizar una obra auténtica y original a partir de improvisar directamente en los soportes que elija. Rápidamente lo reconocen como un pintor abstracto, aunque en su obra aún se perciben paisajes. Inicialmente en sus cuadros predominaban los tonos grises siendo   ejecutados con enérgicos trazados o con grandes planos en equilibrio composicional en los que logra una extraordinaria dinámica entre y sus luces y sombras. No se limita solo a los soportes tradiciones, ha producido obras sobre placas de filtros de ron reciclados las cuales han sido bien reconocidas por la crítica.   Actualmente ha liberado su imaginación  dando rienda suelta al uso del color en un proceso que disfruta tanto como el resultado.  Cada pieza atraviesa por etapasque pueden sugerir un cuadro distinto de sí, aprovecha las inauditas formas que les va apareciendo y las integra en un todo. Carlos esta convencido de la diversidad coexistente del su universo y es el motivo  por lo que a pesar de que pintar varias obras a la vez pueden que los resultados parezcan disímiles, pero no es mas que el resultado de su pupila interior y el final de cada obra está determinada por la legítima armonía y el diseño que lo satisface y que logra atrapar y hacer cómplice al espectador.    Actualmente cuenta con más de 100 exposiciones personales y colectivas en Cuba , Italia , Suecia y Estados Unidos y  sus cuadros han sido coleccionados, Su obra ha sido premiada en más de cinco salones. Fue invitado a participar en el 2010 en una muestra en el Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes en La Habana también se ha destacado en las bienales de la Habana.    

Carlos Llanes is a Cuban architect and designer based in the United States. He has dedicated most of his life to the visual arts and his creativity and temperament have led him to create authentic and original work by improvising directly on the supports he chooses. He is quickly recognized as an abstract painter, although landscapes are still perceived in his work. Initially in his paintings, gray tones predominated, being executed with energetic lines or with large planes in compositional balance in which he achieves an extraordinary dynamic between his lights and shadows. Not limited to traditional media alone, he has produced works on recycled rum filter plates which have been well recognized by critics. He actually has freed his imagination and given free rein to the use of color in a process that he enjoys as much as the result. Each piece goes through stages that can suggest a different picture of itself, takes advantage of the unprecedented forms that appear and integrates them into a whole. Carlos is convinced of the coexisting diversity of his universe and that is the reason why, despite painting several works at the same time, the results may seem dissimilar, but it is nothing more than the result of his inner pupil and the end of each The work is determined by the legitimate harmony and the design that satisfies him and that manages to catch and make the viewer an accomplice. He currently has more than 100 personal and collective exhibitions in Cuba, Italy, Sweden and the United States and his paintings have been collected, his work has been awarded in more than five salons. He was invited to participate in 2010 in a show at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana. He has also stood out in the Havana biennials.
