design, illustration seemed the next logical jump for David DeRosa
who, after focusing his studies on technique, composition, color
theory and anatomy, graduated from the
Academy of Art University
in 1997.

During the next six years, the artist functioned as a freelancer while
cultivating his more ambitious pursuits and passions.
In the last several years he has gone back to his roots and
reemerged with a style he calls:
'POP Impressionism.'

"They are after images of life as I perceive it -- people I meet or admire, the
banal yet poignant landscapes I encounter, personal iconography and
social-political commentary all stripped down to their simplest forms."
David's influences include: M.C. Escher, Alphonse Mucha, J.C.
Leyendecker, Coles Philips, Rothko, Mondrian and Rodin, of whom
he is a fourth generation student.
Since 2004, DeROSAart has helped to raise thousands of dollars for
some very notable charities including:
Glide Memorial, Best
Buddies Intl., Trans Africa Forum, Art into Action, Koret Family
House, Camp Okizu, Visual Aid and Root Division.
