Reynier Llanes Marquez was born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba August 15, 1985 where he lived his early life with his parents and sister. Despite the economic hardships of his country and intrusive nature of the government on its citizens, Reynier availed himself of the opportunity to develop his remarkable talent as a visual fine art painter.
Reynier attended the school of art (Instructores de arte) for four years and at the age of 19, he completed his studies in 2004. He used his artistic skills and talents by working in the community services teaching course in art appreciation to children between the ages of 8 to 12 years old. Concurrently he also contributed to the community by painting outstanding murals with local artists. The quality of his paintings resulted in his participating in important exhibitions where he gained numerous prizes, nominations and fame which took his paintings as far as South America and Asia. In Havana, Reynier studied the great masters of paintings in the art museums of the capital. There he was tutored by one of the country's most recognized realist artists, Juan Miguel Suarez who taught him how to transform his paintings with enhanced application of colors and more sophisticated use of materials and techniques.
Despite his growth as a professional visual artist in Cuba, Reynier felt restricted by the day-to-day limitations on art expression imposed by the Cuban government and the resultant constraints on making a living as an artist. In 2007 Reynier availed himself of an opportunity to leave Cuba and made a heroic journey to the United States of America. He immediately immersed himself in educational opportunities to learn English along with the customs, mores, and legal requirements of this country. He has subsequently become a resident of this country and is working on becoming a United States Citizen.
