A painted jean jacket attracted David’s attention, which is how he was introduced to the airbrush. “The jacket’s owner told me it was airbrushed and I got hooked to the idea of using that technique...” It was right after he saw that jacket he decided to try the airbrush. In the mid 90’s David saw artist Steve Driscoll demonstrate his way of using the airbrush without templates. “that influenced the lack of templates in most of my pieces” says the artist. David has been perfecting his use of the airbrush throughout the years and says it is now the tool he feels most comfortable using. On a very rare occasion he might combine the use of a paint brush with the airbrush but that is “very unusual”.
David says the most difficult aspect of his artwork is choosing his subjects. “I never know what to paint. I always end up paint- ing something I like by using old photographs of trips to other countries, looking for jazz images, leafing through magazines, creating 3D models or taking pictures myself.”
David has worked as a motorcycle mechanic and from time to time you may still see him working in customer service in the Barcelona subway, but an artist is what he is. Today David lives with his life companion of seven years, Sylvia; whom has been there to help with his aging mother and in Da- vid’s words, “to support the peculiar personality of an artist”.
