Jamin David | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

David gives a face to the sensitive side of man, and introduces the public to "the Introportrait". A mix of introspection and self-portrait, it is in essence a self-portrait of the soul. His characters are dancers, musicians, bystanders and dandies. David sets his subjects in the city, lively places where he observes the crowds looking for any tiny detail. A flaw in the scene shows the touching side of a human being. Colored faces, casual postures, deeply human natures: these characters are a reflection of ourselves. David does not sketch very much; it is the intangible that feeds his painting. He absorbs sounds, smells, atmosphere and light. He draws some outlines with charcoal and then throws his ideas down on the canvas with loose but precise movements. This gesture, almost a dance, gives life to his characters.
