Marco Antonio Govea was born in 1975 in Iowa City, and he currently resides in Texas. He has never studied art, just independently.  He is of a Lipan Apache decent that dates back almost 200 years.  He has been drawing since the early age of eight and has been painting for about two years.  His inspiration is drawn by the world around him, but most of his inspiration comes from human figures.  He depicts the style from internal and external shapes, and accepts the accident.  His spiritual expression tries newer ways to break-on-through to different aspects of his work.  In his work, he tries to create a justifiable balance by using cutoffs, unusual angels and off-centered subjects.
