Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, David began his impressionable life being influenced by the many array of colors and concepts of his native country. His natural ability has been passed down from his long lineage of relatives, both of his parents are great artists. They encouraged his youth to be colorful and exposed him at a tender age to the arts. He recalls memories as young as five years old of drawing, but not that of an ordinary child, rather that of a determined artist.

In 1989 his family decided to move to the United States. As he grew older, he became mesmerized and intrigued by the graphic arts. He used his early childhood memories to cast new perceptions into his artwork. Soon he began to expand his talents in the field of graphic design. David attended the School of Visual Arts where he received his BFA in Graphic Design.

Currently, David’s main focus is designing book jackets at Simon and Schuster, which is another one of his passions. But his skills are not limited to graphic design, he also has a very keen eye and distinctive hand in etching. Whenever David is not working, he is taking a course to further his etching skills. In whatever craft he is engaging, David has the gift to visualize a masterpiece before he starts working. Once his creation meets fruition, the results are astonishing. In effect, who ever witnesses his work, is left in a state of awe and mystery.
