A large-scale mixed media work on raw burlap canvas by Barcelona-based artist David Schmitt (b. 1994). Created in 2025, the composition employs sand, gesso and acrylic to build a heavily textured surface. Simplified, symbolic forms emerge across the ground, reflecting the artist’s interest in narrative and the handmade, with an aesthetic that appears both archaic and immediate.
Schmitt is a German-born painter and printmaker. After studying Graphic Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Augsburg, he relocated to Barcelona to develop his artistic practice. His work draws on elements of folk, pop and cave art traditions, exploring storytelling through deliberate mark-making and an emphasis on materiality.
