ARTIST STATEMENT

David X Tejada is a photographer driven by an insatiable curiosity for the visual world around him. His lens becomes a bridge between his perception and the captivating graphic subject matter that spontaneously captures his attention. In the vibrant chaos of life, he finds harmony in the lines, shapes, and colors that intersect and overlap, creating moments of striking composition. 

His work is a testament to his belief that beauty is everywhere, even in the most mundane or overlooked corners of our daily lives. He strives to reveal the extraordinary within the ordinary, transforming the everyday into a visual feast for the senses. 

Photography, to David, is a dance with light and shadow, an exploration of patterns and contrasts, and a celebration of the fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. Each photograph is a testament to his fascination with the graphic elements that shape our visual world, whether it's the play of light on a city street, the geometry of architecture, or the interplay of textures in nature. 

Through his lens, he invites viewers to see the world through a different perspective, to appreciate the inherent artistry in the world around us. His photographs are a testament to the power of observation, the ability to find artistry in the everyday, and the joy of capturing the world's graphic beauty.
