David Arsenault is an oil painter from coastal Massachusetts, trained at the University at Albany (New York) and deeply influenced by Edward Hopper. He employs techniques of American Realism and Hyper-realism, with a focus on large shapes, dramatic light, and subtle yet flat surfaces, favoring contemplative scenes over textural brushwork. His art radiates a profound sense of solitude, tranquility, and timelessness, inviting viewers to gently rediscover contentment and shared humanity within their own quiet reflections.
