David Daud refined his craft at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, under the tutelage of the seasoned maestro Charles Auffret (1929-2001)—a protégé of Rodin's workshop.
David's artistic style weaves together traditions spanning centuries, employing them as one would hues on a palette. His works are a canvas for allusions to Degas, Daumier, and Toulouse-Lautrec, engaging in a dialogue with the old masters and impressionists. Nestled within the embrace of European tradition, the artist forges his distinctive signature art.

His paintings are recognizable and laden with emotion, through which the artist converses with the profound meanings and questions that have stirred humanity for ages.
Every piece by David is a deeply personal experience of the artist. The lightness and transparency of the female form, the joyful movement of dance, the shores of warm seas, the tranquil, still waters of lakes, the solitary figure of a traveler... All these impressions, once having touched the soul of the artist, are transferred onto the canvas, where they continue to live and delight the viewer.
David approaches the creation of his canvases with thoroughness. He is involved in every stage of the painting's creation, right down to the preparation of the paint mixtures, perpetuating the ancient artisan tradition of French painters.
Despite a profound reverence for the classical school, David Daud's paintings remain relevant and resonate effortlessly with admirers of contemporary art. His work is imbued with a nostalgia for a bygone artistic vernacular, where form and content are inextricably intertwined, yet it simultaneously embraces the spirit of the times and aspires to speak directly to the modern viewer.
The Irina Bokova Bureau is delighted to collaborate with David Daud, introducing its clients to his oeuvre and enriching interiors of diverse styles with his creations. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to blending time-honored traditions with contemporary sensibilities, ensuring that each space not only tells a story but also connects with those who inhabit it on a deeply personal level.
