David Paul Black is an expressionist artist; based deep in the Heart of Texas.

A painter of cowboys, horses, and horizons — his work reads like a spiritual poem, depicting visions of a mystical Wild West. Where memory, faith, and imagination dance between the sun and the stars.

Born and raised under the vast bluebonnet skies of South Texas, his art is rooted in the quiet grace of ranch life. Through bold brushstrokes and luminous color, he transforms south-western symbols into surreal, soulful images. His paintings are not literal depictions, but emotional truths; where the land breathes, animals speak, and time softens into reverie.

Working primarily in oil as his medium, David paints from his spirit rather than from sight. He channels his dreams of the open country, its creatures, and the peace found in solitude. His art is both a prayer and a promise: to honor the natural world and do his best to illustrate its beauty.

His connection to the sacred land began in childhood, studying cowboys fixing barbed wire fences under the burning hot sun on his grandfather’s cattle ranch. David grew up listening to his family’s tall tales of old Texas and drifting to sleep beside black-and-white westerns flickering on TV. Those echoes of grit, respect, and nostalgia—still ride through his imagination today, reminding him of the timeless wisdom found when one lives close to the earth.
