Bio

Hector was born in Pittsburg California “the bay area” and raised in the small border town of San Luis Rio Colorado in Sonora, Mexico. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Arizona State University, with an emphasis on printmaking, drawing, and painting. Llamas stays prolific in his art by working with many artists in the valley and sharing ideas and techniques. He has been working with the top interior designers around the valley for over 20 years.

He works in a controlled improvising manner often using different color pallets and applying the mediums with random objects, using handmade stencils to create different textures. Layer after layer of multimedia strategically applied creates the depth and inviting perception in Hector’s abstract backgrounds.

His figurative work is full of movement, texture, and layers of multimedia. He utilizes the printing techniques of layering and transparency in paints to obtain just the right hue of color, and by adding the cross-hatching technique of drawing the result gives Hectors figures volume and interest. He captures emotion in the expressions and tells stories through their eyes.
