Biographical notes
A sculptor of Spanish origin, Antonio Davila worked in stone (marble, granite, basalt) in a pared-down idiom attentive to the colour and grain of the material. In 1997 the Diputación of Pontevedra devoted an exhibition to him at the Pazo Provincial, with an accompanying catalogue.
