David is a visual abstract artist with an extraordinary origin story. His journey into painting began in an unexpected and transformative way, redefining his life and creative expression.
Remarkably, David had never painted before a life-altering boat accident in 2015. During his recovery, he discovered a previously untapped artistic talent, a phenomenon later diagnosed as Acquired Savant Syndrome. With only 50 documented cases worldwide, this rare condition propelled him into the world of art.
David leverages his artistic success to make a positive impact, generously supporting causes like Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation, The Human Rights Campaign, and the Garde Arts Center. He is also deeply committed to teaching and inspiring children with physical and mental disabilities, using his talents to foster creativity and inclusion.
David’s art is guided by three core principles: color, texture, and pattern. His inspiration often comes from vivid dreams, where he envisions the colors and structures of his future works.
New York Magazine art critic Jerry Saltz praised David’s work Aqua Vita, noting, “David has no fear of scale in this work, his Cézanne-like style showcases great materiality and an expressive sense of flow.” His work has found a global audience and is part of collections across the world. He is a member of esteemed institutions like MOMA, The Whitney, The Guggenheim, The Art Students League of New York, and The Silvermine Gallery.
David’s journey and art continue to inspire, proving the transformative power of creativity.
