Fernando Davila

Davila, a plural culture and a strong style Fernando Davila comes to us from Saint Etienne. He is passionate about drawing as a child. Year after year, he refined himself to join the School of Applied Arts in Lyon in 1989, at the age of 20. Applied, he is, from that time his talent was already recognized. Then comes the graffiti. It is in the street, through this, that he builds his style. His inspiration, drawn from comics, artists of "free figuration" and his Spanish origins, earned him to be an interethnic and multicultural painter. His works, compositions of pure forms and colored areas, are effective and straightforward. They convey an incisive look at our time through characters taken from children's programs or inspiration and pre-Hispanic culture. These choices of media are probably not due to chance. The colors he does not use either, the spectrum is wide and lively to convey dynamism and original claims. Davila, the artist with multiple resources His knowledge of the world of street art allows him a serenity to talk about it, for him "Graffiti artists are as different as graffiti are in their content: political message, commemorative, protest, or simple expression Particularly active today, they compete in talent, technique, style, diversifying the fields of their investigations from simple "wild" linguistic graffiti to very sophisticated forms of figurative representation. " In May 2017, he is the artistic curator of the SAFIR festival (street art festival of roche la molière) which he co-created in 2015 with the mayor of the city and which welcomes 40 major artists. Today, Fernando Davila, beyond his activity as an artist, is associated with RG-4 (Conciergerie and Artist Workshop) he is its artistic curator.
