The Rose That Grew From Concrete Painting

Born 1976 in Los Angeles and raised in Northern VA, David "˜DEZ' Zambrano takes his influences in his art from everything he sees and experiences. His love for graffiti came when he saw "˜Beat Street' as a young kid, and was further flamed riding the Red Line to Maryland to visit his father. With no proper schooling and no disciplined lessons in art, DEZ has been "˜street schooled' in his art. You can see a lot of the graffiti influence in his work; the over expressed details, contrasting colors, vibrant figures and exaggerated anatomy. DEZ is always evolving, changing, growing, and never hesitant to try new mediums and surfaces. He has done everything from canvas work to walls, cars and motorcycles, airbrushing and spray cans. Moving forward DEZ is always ready for more challenges and strives to exceed the expectations of himself. Why not paint the world?
