Education<\/span><\/h2>\n

David\u2019s art education began with his training in Prosthetics at UCLA, where he learned in-depth human anatomy and the study of human locomotion.\u00a0\u00a0 During his forty years in the field of Prosthetics, he has taken molds of thousands of patients to create their devices.That training and experience provided David with a powerful background when he found himself interested in pursuing sculpture.\u00a0 His studies at the\u00a0Gage Academy of Art, Seattle in figurative and portrait sculpture were under: John, Sisko Viktor Sirotin, Boris Spivak, Matt Buckner, Tip Toland and Michael Magrath. \u00a0David further enhanced his skill in portraiture while studying with world renowned Philippe Faraut. Additionally, David gained in-depth knowledge in mold making and bronze casting at Pratt Fine Arts Center, Seattle. \u00a0More recently, he has received mentoring in Paris from Yves Pires, an accomplished and internationally recognized Parisian sculptor. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"Varnau_David_\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Style<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"DSC_0777\"<\/a>The human figure is David\u2019s subject matter, which he renders with stunning accuracy, but slightly abstracted to highlight the natural planes of the body.\u00a0 He enjoys carefully rendering hands and feet so that they communicate a personality and contribute to the mood of the piece.\u00a0 Each work is sculpted from a live model and reflects the particular features of the person before him.\u00a0 As a result, none of his sculptures appear to be generic or formulaic, but rather distinctively unique.\u00a0 Because of that, a Varnau sculpture is a convincing reflection of life and, as such, they convey a universal truth with which viewers viscerally resonate.<\/p>\n
