Marlon “7oveChild” Davila
I am a painter inspired by the natural world’s beauty. I work primarily in oils on canvas, to create depth and luminosity I tend to use a flat brush to blend in colors, line and detail.
I am currently focused on the mystery and many phases of the hearts emotions. My body of work celebrates color, heritage love and passion. Through my work I hope to evoke a sense of wonder and awe and to invite the viewer to consider the complexity and many stages of the heart.
