David Flores is an internationally recognized contemporary artist whose work explores the intersection of fine art, pop culture, and stained-glass aesthetics. Instantly recognizable for his signature linework, Flores has spent more than three decades developing a visual language that transforms portraits, figures, and cultural icons into timeless compositions of light, geometry, and emotion.
Born and raised in California, Flores emerged from the skateboarding Industry before establishing himself as a respected fine artist. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world and has been commissioned by major brands, cultural institutions, professional athletes, musicians, and collectors. Whether working at the scale of a monumental public mural or private fine art commissions, his practice is driven by the belief that art should be accessible, emotionally resonant, and deeply connected to community. Flores' work often draws inspiration from classical sculpture, pop culture imagery, and the human experience, reinterpreting these timeless subjects through a contemporary visual vocabulary. His distinctive fusion of traditional craftsmanship with modern storytelling has made his work instantly recognizable across multiple disciplines, including painting, sculpture, stained glass, murals, and design.
Today, David continues to expand his practice through large-scale public art, fine art exhibitions, architectural collaborations, and educational initiatives that inspire the next generation of artists.
