Dávila

Fernando Davila is a highly accomplished Colombian-born artist who has gained recognition for his mastery of figurative painting. His extensive work has been exhibited in South America, Europe and the United States.

He was selected and personally invited by Maestro Fernando Botero to participate in the XXIX Prix International de L’Art Contemporain in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Davila was awarded the “Orden de la Democracia” by the Colombian Congress in 1999 for his contribution to the arts. He has published two hardcover books and many catalogues about his paintings with texts written by famous art critics and art historians such as; Eduard J. Sullivan, Pierre Restany, Ana Maria Escallon, Georges Gomez y Caceres, German Rubiano Caballero.

His paintings have been auctioned at Christie’s and Sotheby’s New York since 1988, and most recently in Los Angeles at MOLAA Auctions 2006-2007.
