In his early youth, being unpopular with the girls as well as the boys, David spent most of his time entertaining himself illustrating his imaginary landscapes, surreal, and full of monsters and demons and fantastic creatures inspired from his parent's books of Hieronymus Bosch and Salvador Dali. Being raised by Polish immigrants, David's upbringing was unconventional to those around him in an upper-middle class suburb just outside the city limits of Manhattan. His difference stood out among his peers and even in his later schooldays, his social acceptance was only by that of the other oddballs whom he would spend his time with running off to Manhattan to lose themselves in the crowds of "freaks" and blend in with the "minority". David learned early that his surroundings in school were that of a microcosm of the world outside his home.

David's interests have always leaned towards fine arts and with the motivation of his mother's encouragement and inspiration of his father's disregard for conventional lifestyle, David decided to pursue a career in art. At the Boston Museum School, David had finally found an outlet for his ideas of emotion and relationship with his peers and himself. He found his mediums by not being tied to one medium and found his connection to everyone through a voice that is unique and confident in its presentation. He found his commonality between himself and others by exposing his views on history, sexuality, and human course of action in his paintings.

David moved to his familiar city of Manhattan in 1995 and continues to explore his relationship with his mediums and ideas of behavior and religion. His images continue to be dark, harvesting the visions of his youth and still holding on to the inspirations, which led him in this direction.
