About the artist:

Benefiting from 5 generations of family heritage & culture rooted in the Santa Fe area, David V. Gonzales exposure to the arts were rich in Native American and Hispanic traditions. "As far back as I can remember, I have been working with art materials to create something based upon my observations." (David V. Gonzales) His art is the culmination of the artistic talent that has moved throughout his family for generations. The emergence of a talented and gifted artist appeared early on in his youth, exhibiting his work at the young age of 12. By the time he was 17, his work was on display in the Smithsonian while simultaneously receiving the New Mexico Governors award. Having received a full scholarship to the San Antonio Art Institute, his work has been displayed at the Governors Mansion in Santa Fe, N.M. and the U.S. Capitol Congressional Tunnel, as well as inclusion into several National Museum Traveling Exhibits. Using acrylics, oils, pastels, watercolor, pencils, wood and bronze, David has created 2 and 3 dimensional pieces ranging from photo-realism to abstract. His unique aesthetic masterfully expresses relative objects moving through space and time, depicted with color, energy and vibrancy, capturing the imagination of collectors worldwide. His images are like living entities with a past, present, and future, ever moving and unfolding.
