About the Artist
Toby was born in April 1967 in Edinburgh (Scotland) from which, even though it’s a beautiful city, his parents decided migrate to the “light” of Andalusia (Spain). From the age of six he integrated totally into Spanish society. He studied at the School of Arts of Granada. He also studied Photography in Madrid, working as a photographer for a time. But his true master was his father, the late Douglas Govan, a well-known sculptor, who showed him his technique and the magic of “reading the stone”. His mother, Ann Govan, spectacular water-colour painter, taught him to see the world as a “composition”. Over a period of six years he was sponsored by Sam Benady (Sammer Gallery, Puerto Banús, Spain) and Sandra Billington (S.B. Interiors, Marbella, Spain). This allowed him to flourish as an artist.
