My name is DaGravile. I paint with the dark.
\nI put creativity to the test starting with darkness and ending with a burst of color.
\nIn a scenario where nothing is what it seems, I transform spots into beauty and emptiness into silence.
\nI combine light and shadow, darkness and color through a creative and artistic experience.
\nI bring order to chaos and give life to the canvases creating an atmosphere of energy and strength but also of tranquility.
\nAn artist and best friend of mine has said \u201cIt seems that you paint the war but I think you paint the peace and calm that lies behind the chaos of the world\u201d
\nI entertain myself and I entertain you. My works are experiences to awaken the senses.
\nDo you dare to enter my universe?
\nDaGraVile is the acronym for David Grau i Vilella. Born (68) in Barcelona.
\nMy personal story is a relationship I have with technical drawing when I was in high school. It was a boring and difficult subject for me. When I managed to make a perfect black line, a stain appeared that increased with the passing of the ruler and \u201cspoiled\u201d everything.
\nOver the years I have discovered that stains (not the ones on the shirt) and scratches are beautiful and pretty and that they can be used.
\nWith my impulsive character and Aries by birth, I decided to put a little order\u2026and color in my work; life only in black and white seems somewhat boring to me.
\nMy strokes and brushstrokes are influenced by Expressionism, the Cobra Group, Spanish and\/or Catalan Informalism. Painters I like; Manolo Millares, Saura, T\u00e0pies, Guinovart, Picasso, Bacon, Lucian Freud, Asger Jorn, Oskar Kokoschka\u2026we would never finish!<\/p>\n
