Artist David Molesky (b. November 18, 1977) Unlike music, literature, film and sculpture, where a time component is involved or where multiple perspective are required for the experience, painting provides me with a narrative concept in one visual shot. It is simple in this way and it is related to our human evolution in that it has been a way to reflect and record the impressions of our experiences in the world.
For me painting has become a way to chronicle things like environments, people, animals, atmospheres and moods. I especially want to translate into paint those things, which I would like to resonate and carry with me. By making paintings, I actively etch an image into my memory and capture with it the thoughts and inspirations that drove the will of that creation. My paintings as objects provide a window back into the emotional body that predominated the experience of empathy for the subject matter.
David currently lives and works in San Francisco, California.
