Lack of sources for notability. I checked LexisNexis (behind a paywall but exhaustive and it found only one piece mentioning his name La Nación (Costa Rica) August 26, 2006). The spanish text can be found at [1], "IMAS recorta presupuesto para fiesta" the relevant text "En el acto participará el presidente Óscar Arias Sánchez, el ministro de Lucha contra la pobreza, Fernando Zumbado, y el artista costarricense Hugo Sánchez Bonilla, quien creó el logo del IMAS en 1972. A este último se le brindará un reconocimiento especial." which google translation gives as "Participate in the event President Oscar Arias Sánchez, the minister for Combating Poverty, Fernando Zumbado, and Hugo Sanchez Bonilla Costa Rican artist who created the logo of the IMAS in 1972. The latter will provide special recognition" IMAS stands for Instituto Mixto de Ayuda Social (Spanish: Joint Social Welfare Institute; Costa Rica)[2]. The only other source I can find is this page [3] for an exhibition at Pennsylvania State University.
There is no article for him on the Spanish language wikipedia. I checked without finding a single mention of him on the following paywalled databases: "Art Retrospective:Index of abstracts from art periodicals published throughout the world" and "ARTbibliographies Index of literature on modern and contemporary art, photography and design."

- Keep The subject is known as Hugo Sánchez, and in my opinion he is a notable painter in Costa Rica. Please, check out the interview published by the nacion.com and profiles at ArtStudio Magazine ("He has made six solo exhibitions and participated in one hundred twenty-five group exhibitions in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Spain, Germany, Venezuela, Brazil and the United States."), ArteCostarica, Ticoclub and La Prensa Libre. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 10:17, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. As suggested by Vejvančický above, Spanish naming customs are that the second surname is only used in highly formal contexts, so searches for the full name wouldn't necessarily be expected to find many sources. The ArtStudio Magazine and La Prensa Libre sources linked above amount to significant coverage in independent reliable sources, satisfying the conditions of the general notability guideline.
