Weldon Llames

I spent my childhood years in the picturesque town of Angono, Rizal, dubbed as “Art Capital” of the Philippines. Although a Bachelor of Arts major in English graduate, my early exposure to the visual arts had imbibed in me the love and interest in the visual arts. At an early stage, I taught myself how to paint and developed my own modern and unique style. I use a wide spectrum of colors to portray an everyday life but presented in a whole new perspective. I take my inspiration from my environment. Simple things viewed from a different angle can produce a meaningful work of art. I had already produced and sold numerous paintings mostly on colorful modern cubism using acrylic, water color, pastels and my preferred medium oil on canvas.
I use my artistic gift to encourage, promote optimism, to offer hope and to enlighten emotions. This is done by using bright, lively and invigorating colors that aim to uplift and inspire the mood of viewers.
