He has been a beneficiary of the Young Creators Program, FONCA, in 2003, 2006 and 2011. In 2014 he received the Scholarship for Artistic Exchanges and Residencies, FONCA-Land Salzburg of Austria, thanks to which he started the Schrebergarten project.

Since 2020 he is a member of the National System of Art Creators, FONCA, CONACULTA.For several years the artist Paola Davila has generated various visual statements from photography. Beyond the self-imposed limits in thematic terms (the house, for example), this exercise has allowed him to articulate concerns and situate spaces: inside, outside, and the limits between one and the other. From there, with the landscape as support: as an extension of situations contained in intimacy or in the object, it has insisted on making its way within other thematic and media fields to different complexities of the idea of also inhabiting the public and finding a voice own in the contemporary photographic narrative.
