david noro is a danish artist known for his diverse artistic practice, spanning various mediums, including painting, drawing, graphics, ceramics, and sculptural objects.

noro's artistic style is characterized by a figurative, raw, and fragmented approach that creates scenes where the ordinary encounters the surreal. his artworks evoke a sense of "das unheimliche" in the viewer, inviting them to be voyeuristic observers in a nocturnal, enigmatic atmosphere.

his visual narrative draws from a personal archive of random words, texts, songs, and fragments of conversations, forming the basis for his figurative works. themes of escapism, love, and mortality are explored in his extensive oeuvre, establishing an epistemological and existential connection with mythological figures. the incorporation of religious symbols, pop culture elements, and everyday perceptions adds complexity to the mythological aspects present in his creations.

noro's artistic process is marked by impulsiveness and sensitivity, allowing his works to unfold organically during creation. this leads to an intellectually complex pictorial universe grounded in archetypal characters like villains and heroes.

currently based in copenhagen, denmark, david noro holds a bfa degree from gerrit rietveld academie in amsterdam.
