Artist Statement

David de Lara is an Austin, Texas based artist. For more than a decade he has created artwork of women that has been described as sensual, edgy, and provocative with an air of mystery. His work has been exhibited throughout Texas in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi and nationally in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Albuquerque, and Detroit.

The women in David’s paintings and drawings are usually not based on anyone in particular. They’re like dolls used to represent the human condition. They often portray his thoughts, experiences, and philosophies. Although what he creates is presented from his point of view, what people interpret and connect with from his work is very telling about the common ground everyone has.

David's artistic glamour photography is a natural extension of his art since women are the subject matter for both. Sometimes the images of women he photographs are manipulated to blur the line between the reality and surrealism of life. There is an interaction of what is real and what isn’t that goes beyond the captured image to create something with a new meaning.
