Los Angeles, USA  Bouquet of flowers by David Flores

David Flores is known for his highly stylized and vibrant paintings. Growing up in a multicultural environment in California, he was introduced to oil painting by his mother at the age of 7. Since then, Flores has developed a passion for painting, especially as a muralist and designer, creating large sculptures in addition to painting walls and canvases, and also working as a product designer. 
Flores quickly gained attention at the beginning of his career, especially for his bold use of color. 

He often depicts well-known personalities in his works. He is best known for his instantly recognizable mosaic or segmented style, which he developed organically through years of working on skate graphics. He was published internationally at the age of 18 and made a name for himself as a logo designer.

The use of bright colors and complex layering techniques give Flores' work a dynamic character, while his attention to detail and a hint of nostalgia convey a certain familiarity. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in the United States and internationally, and he has been commissioned for public mural projects around the world. His work has also been featured in numerous publications and has won several awards.

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) acquired David Flores' work in 2006, where it is part of the museum's permanent collection. He enjoys working with a variety of companies to expand his catalog. Notable collaborations include Barney's New York, Disney, Oakley, the Olympic Games, the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Equinox, the Mexican Consulate and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
