Carlos Davila was born and educated in Lima, Peru, where he received his MFA from La Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes. Before settling in Bridgeport, CT, he traveled, studied, and worked in Europe and New York City. His artwork is collected internationally.

He says of his inspiration:

I have always been fascinated by ancient cultures, beginning with those in my native Peru and spreading to others the world over. The scientific accomplishments and inventions, the mathematical discoveries, the architecture and art, and the cuneiform and hieroglyphic writing of many disparate ancient cultures have been an ideal jumping-off point for my sculptures. There is a universality in making marks, and creating and exploring form.

I am equally fascinated by space travel and exploration and the science of the stars and universe. There are planes, lines, and forms in my work that suggest space craft, satellite trajectories, or computer circuitry. There is a machine-like quality to their appearance along with a timelessness.
