David Aiazzi was born in Florence, Italy and grew up in a small village 15 miles north of Florence. David's passion for art started early in his childhood where he was a shy child and found himself gravitating towards creative activities instead of common toys for children. Early in his life his parents noticed his love for art and encouraged him to pursue his passion. David went on to study under the painter and illustrator Stano Dusik, who is mainly famous for children's book illustrations. He also studied and received a degree in restoration of paintings at Bottega Migliorini in Florence. Living a life exposed to Florence's artistic heritage, the birthplace of Renaissance, was both a challenge and inspiration to David. In 2009, during a vacation to Spain David met his wife and eventually moved to the United States. David works in acrylic and is inspired by the way a child perceives the world, "where there is no malice, jealousy or presumptuousness". His images are layered with boldness and deep color as he Is intrigued by the connection between humans and animals. Despite a diversity of subjects such as cityscape and portraits, animals remain his favorite. David is also fascinated by eyes and this has been a source of expressing the heart and soul of his subjects. He has traveled all over Europe, North America and Africa which has served as a catalyst for inspiration and has shaped his artistic curiosity. David has exhibited his work in both galleries and public spaces in Italy as well as throughout the eastern United States. He lives in South Carolina and his work is currently exhibited in:Revealed Gallery, Charleston SC Helena Mason Art Gallery, Santa Barbara CAZK Gallery, San Francisco CA Galleria Wikiarte, Bologna, Italy
