Dave Rose is a first-generation American; his mother was born in Monterrey, Mexico. He has witnessed both ends of privilege and marginalization, designing nuanced advocacy in his practice.Rose was born in Denver, Colorado. During his youth and academic career, he was a duo-spec artist of the visual arts and natural sciences. Rose works from dark to light and utilizes bold, mindfully engineered color palettes. From working as a lead colorist to his daily practice as a painter, color design is a core feature of his practice. He reflects on the individual narrative his artwork creates through dramatic animals, dynamic figures, medical anatomy, and expressive portraits. Rose considers himself a painter beyond medium- the act of painting matters more than any specific wet media.Rose is currently pursuing a BFA in New Media Art at Pennsylvania State University. He is a full-time student, on track to graduate in spring 2024.
