The roots of The Artists and Writers Group are found in the “Artists and Writers Ball”, a hugely un-serious annual event in the late 1970s and 1980s in Tampa’s arts and historical old town of Ybor City. Back then, the “Ball” spoofed the mardi gras atmosphere of Tampa’s better known Gasparilla parties. Each ball featured a theme guaranteed to inspire the most outrageous costumes and satirical musical performances and skits. At its heyday, the “Artists and Writers Ball” filled all four floors of Ybor City’s Cuban Club with several thousand of the faithful. The Artists and Writers Group, has transformed itself into a non-profit organization dedicated to producing art, literature and performance events for Tampa area residents. Currently, The Artists and Writers Group presents three annual special events, all centered in Ybor City.

Born and raised in Brazil, David started painting when he was in my early teens. First studying art with a host of private tutors and later at the prestigious Center for Visual Arts of Rio de Janeiro. David now spends his time between his house and studio in Ybor City in Tampa, and whenever possible, the coastal village of Buzios, near Rio. David’s style incorporates warm colors and alternating palette knife with brush work, and as a result my works tend to feature a textural look. He enjoys painting on paper as well as canvas. His work is with acrylic paints only, but also add collage and mix media components to many of the artworks.
