    artist statement

    Painting is my way of sharing my soul in the most genuine and intimate way I know how. I feel alive and yet at peace when I paint, it’s the act of the brushstroke that inspires me. Each painting is a journey of self expression, emotion, place and culture. When my paintings elicit an emotional response and encourage dialogue, it is then that I have shared a piece of my soul.

  • BIOGRAPHY

    “I paint emotion, spirit and places that live in my soul. I paint as did the Abstract Expressionists.”

    David Maestas was born in Chama New Mexico in 1974. He was second to the youngest in a family of six boys. He was raised by his mother and attributes his creativity and artistic talent to the woman who taught him that it was ok to be different and to not be afraid to share his vision with the world.

    David attended school at the College of Eastern Utah and the University of Utah. His style and approach to art is a simple one. He paints what he feels and expresses emotion rather than illusion. His paintings are reflections of the human spirit.

    David’s Hispanic and Native American roots inform his work. Through the use of themes and subject matter that relate to his culture David celebrates and examines what it is to be an artist living and painting in the West.

    David has received much acclaim for his work. He has taken Best of Show in the Park City Arts festival and has received several awards of Merit in the Springville Museum of Art annual Spring Salon. His work can be found in the Salt Lake International Airport as well as many other corporate and private collections.

    David has been working as a professional artist for more than a decade and also enjoys donating his time mentoring young artists.
