He studied Fine Art at Leioa (University of the Basque Country), Berlin (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft) and Barcelona (Master’s in Artistic Production and Research at the University of Barcelona). His work explores energy and logistical disruptions caused by the extraction of raw materials, and how this flow of materials and processes modifies the human organism and our relations with our immediate environment.

Llavaneras has also taken part in such group exhibitions as: 4,543 milliards La question de la matière (CAPC, Musée d'Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, 2017); Trick’n’treat (Yaby, Madrid, 2017); Archaeology Fabricated (Junefirst Gallery, Berlin, 2014); ¿Qué hay de nuevo viejo? (Centre Cívic Can Felipa, Barcelona, 2013); Stranded Travelers (Gallery Atelier35, Bucharest, 2013); and Quagmire (CCA Meetfactory, Prague, 2013).
