David’s studio art practice uses experimental techniques to create projects that weave through autobiography, history, self-portrait, and conceptual series. Drawing / painting, photography, hand-cut collage, and handmade embroidery are his primary mediums. His art, photography, and experimental films have earned commendations, honorable mentions and finalists distinctions, in both domestic and international contests. His writing focuses on poetry, non-fiction, and speculative fiction. Currently, he’s writing the first draft of his fantasy novella, The Crystal Seers. He's also developing a non-fiction book on Nuyorican artist Jorge Soto Sánchez, focusing on his life, art, and writing.
