David Ronce

I was born in the USA; grew up in Michigan and California. I studied painting, performance and film at the University of California, San Diego, and completed graduate coursework in film production/ animation/ and SFX at San Francisco State University.

As a young boy, I remember making my first drawing of a bird in flight, burning and covered in orange and red flames. Symbolic of my early childhood I suppose. Later I made more drawings and paintings, mostly representational, of the things and people around me, then, eventually moved completely towards my/ the subconscious for images-ideas of expressive abstraction.

Before moving to Brasil four years ago, I exhibited my paintings, drawings, and films in galleries and festivals in California, Washington, Michigan and New York.

In Florianopolis, where I now live, I teach workshops on painting and drawing using intuitive techniques, and have had several exhibitions of my paintings and drawings (individual and group in Florianopolis and Rio do Sul).

A few thoughts on what my art process means to me:

- It brings me harmonious balance and growth - what is this life if not an extremely durable and fragile, mental and psycho-spiritual, personal experience of questions and answers....
