David Robbins Estrada studied at the Stevenson Academy of Traditional Painting and earned a BFA from Cornell University. In his paintings he combines his traditional understanding of technique with a more modern sense of expression through juxtaposition of color, varied application methods and shifts in viscosity of paint. The images represented in his paintings pair questioning perspectives with elements of humor. His style suggests plasticity in both material and ideas and evokes an unreal quality that occurs in the concreteness of an imaginary understanding.
