Meet Dave

Passionate about art! …devoted to the creative muse.

My name is David Porter (Dave), UK artist (based in Nottinghamshire) focusing on creating original unique soulful custom artwork, my work has been accepted in several countries worldwide. Take a look at my back story to know more.

Love to create original paintings and drawings,  preferring not to specialize in just one genre… alI life fascinate me.

What is the main focus of my art?

If you think of a Caricature Artist, they bring out the funniest expressions of a person… my approach is to focus on expressing the soul and the energy of the subject, resulting in not just a likeness but a sense that they are actually there.

Along with commission work, I have the desire to share my techniques and tips to help others find the wonderful benefits of creating Art.

“Observing from an open heart and a quiet mind brings forth the creativity from a beautiful, serene place within.”

His art is so real, so close to reality. There is a human feeling in every portrait. Of course the one of @AymericJett is my favourite !!
