The artist, David Brown, studied and received his fine arts training at California State University of Long Beach and graduated with a BFA in Drawing and Painting in 2018. As a child, he watched his older brother draw and recalls wanting to draw just like him when he grew up. David currently lives in Long Beach, California, and has been lucky to show his work in multiple group shows and a few solo shows, mostly based in the Los Angeles area. His traditional work includes oil, charcoal, and graphite. He is strongly influenced by Renaissance, Baroque, and a lot of todayās contemporary work. Davidās work is predominately focused on the human figure. āPeople are my inspiration. I love learning peopleās storeys and try to capture the sitterās narrative through my drawings/ paintings ā¦I love drawing people from life, I feel that my work focuses on the relationship between artist and modelā. His art is his one true passion and he believes that, āartists are super sensitive and emotional human beings, our work is a physical representation of our thoughts and emotions, a diary that we choose to share with the worldā.
