"my pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. dreams should be part of our everyday life." - David Lachapelle
BORN IN SYLMAR, CALIFORNIA, RAISED BY A SINGLE MOTHER IN LAS VEGAS & A FATHER SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON FOR A CRIME HE DID NOT COMMIT, I WAS INTRODUCED TO THIS WORLD WITH A RUDE AWAKENING. THROUGHOUT MY LIFE I ALWAYS TRIED TO MAKE SENSE OF LIFE. I WOULD GET LOST IN MY HEAD, DAYDREAMING OF ESCAPING MY TROUBLES. NOW, I FIND MY WORK MIRRORING MY CHILDHOOD. THERES ALWAYS A SENSE OF SADNESS & HOPE IN MY ART. MY WORK IS ABOUT HONORING MY INNER CHILD I SPENT MY LIFE PROTECTING.
