"Anibal Gil Villa is a draftsman, painter, printmaker, and sculptor. He studied under Rafael Saenz (1910-1998) and spent time in Europe from 1954 to 1957, where he studied painting techniques at the Academia de San Marcos in Florence, making several trips to visit the main European museums. When he returned to Medellin he took a teaching position and began producing work that was initially influenced by Cubism, Piero della Francesca, Renaissance techniques, and the ideas of the Uruguayan artist Joaquin Torres Garcia. In 1964, Gil Villa started the Taller de Grabado [Print Shop] at the Universidad de Antioquia, where he pioneered the teaching of a number of different printing techniques (woodcut, etching, and lithography), rehabilitating a local tradition that had died out."
