He is an artist who lives, works and devotes himself only to painting in Mexico, his country of origin. He recognizes that he does not compromise himself with the standards of the academy, but with the painting. It fluctuates between abstraction and representation, where the most important thing is to put his language IGNORE INTO evidence.
His work is carried out on the canvas without visual reference or any mental representation. This is why he recognizes the great importance of experimenting on the white cloth instantaneously and therefore is called a formalist.
This is the pseudonym of graphic designer David Armas. Through techniques such as acrylic paint or spray, installations, linocut, and digital illustration, he creates fantastic creatures belonging to a completely new realm which come to life when they are observed by the viewer.
The theme that inspires his work are extinct or endangered animals, and the effects on wildlife due to catastrophes caused by human mistakes. His work is located in science fiction, but not for this personal details are excluded, as the segmented lines that imitate fabric seams with which he remembers his mother who worked as a dressmaker.
