Luis Martínez Dávila

Little is known about Luis Martínez Dávila, yet his paintings speak for him.

They tell of a deep familiarity with the Amazon region, its inhabitants, and a reality that embraces not only the visible world but also the presence of spirit beings, myths, and cosmic forces.

His works bear witness to years of observation and to a knowledge possessed only by someone who has lived for a long time in the rainforest.

His art is a testament to his profound connection with the Amazon. He knows it like few others. His paintings do not portray the region as an exotic image, but as a homeland, a cosmos full of mysteries, and a source of all life.

Luis Martínez Dávila paints what he knows – and therein lies the strength of his art.
