It took a lot for David’s family to keep him occupied as a kid. He was very energetic! It was his aunt who piqued his interest in drawing when she found that David could watch her draw for hours at a time. From those early experiences, he’s gone on to master black and white and colored pencil techniques in addition to watercolor painting.

David describes himself as “obsessed” with the works of Sandro Botticelli and Gustav Klimt. About his favorite painting, Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus,” he says, “I don’t think I can even express everything I feel about that painting. I love its story, colors, the execution. Everything about it, and more.”

David finds inspiration in everything around him - music, nature, dragonflies, and even artificial intelligence. He can be fascinated by things that mean nothing to most people and incorporate those things into his art in the most captivating ways.
