David Al
David Antonio Loureiro, known by his artistic alias David AL, is a contemporary French painter whose work is deeply rooted in the exploration of life experiences. Painting serves as his medium for sharing and interpreting the ever-evolving journey of existence. His approach to art mirrors a quest for happiness, wherein each stroke on the canvas represents an endeavor to grasp and convey elusive emotions.
For David AL, the act of painting is not merely a creative outlet but a profound introspective process. He places emphasis on self-reflection, followed by the inherent duty of imparting insight to others. Central to his artistic philosophy is the symbolism embedded within his compositions, which serve as visual metaphors for the pursuit of fulfillment.
In his quest to challenge perceptions and provoke contemplation, David AL utilizes a variety of techniques. His choice of subjects ranges from historically recognizable figures to everyday individuals, all depicted with a striking frontal perspective reminiscent of classical painting. However, beneath the seemingly realistic façade lies a deliberate amalgamation of impastos, transparencies, and superimpositions, imbuing his work with an unexpected materiality.
The essence of David AL's art lies in its ability to elicit ambiguity and inquiry rather than provide definitive answers. Through his thought-provoking imagery, he invites viewers to confront their own interpretations and engage in a dialogue about the complexities of human experience. In essence, David AL's paintings serve as catalysts for introspection, challenging observers to reconsider their perceptions and explore the multifaceted nature of existence.

Triptyque en cours de réalisation
Actuellement sur Artmajeur je n'ai présenté que des petits formats.
Je travaille rarement une seule peinture à la fois. Les petites peintures me permettent de faire des pauses et de prendre du recul sur les grandes en cours (le temps du séchage d'une couche).
Les petites font l'objet de micro-narrations : des états d'âmes relatives au monde dans lequel je vis.
Ou alors l'étude d'un détail destiné aux grandes peintures en cours.
Ci-dessous une peinture grand format en cours de réalisation.
Huile et acrylique sur papier épais : 3,40 mètres sur 1,40 mètres

Triptych in progress
Currently in my paintings gallery on Artmajeur I only presented small paintings.
I rarely work on one painting at a time. Small paintings allow me to take breaks in the execution of large formats.
They are micro-narrations relating to my moods of the moment in resonance with the context of the world in which I live.
Painting is for me a space of total freedom where genres and modes of expression can coexist in the composition.
Here is a triptych in progress. Oil and acrylic on thick paper: 3,40 mètres sur 1,40 mètres
