David Mirac is a self-taught painter who opted against traditional art school in favor of a learning format that allowed more autonomy, and better suited the artists’ creative goals. That freedom is what painting is all about for Mirac. It is the freedom of expression within a space devoid of rules. His figurative, representational subjects, which feature vintage elements, reflect that theme across his work, as they shift the focus on the behavior, and motivations of the subject, however strange and wonderful they may be.
