Details

Abstraction is the favorite art style of El Salvador's David Fernando Duke. Inspired by his studies in Germany, the United States, Russia and the Netherlands, he works with oils and acrylics to paint this composition. Forms of dark and light blue collide with a small cloud of orange, a vision that is captured expertly by the artist's hand.

David Fernando Duke

"I have a number of dreams in this life. One is to popularize my country's fine art."

"I always wanted to paint. I enjoy it so much! "I'm David Fernando Duke Bonilla. I was born in 1979 in El Triunfo, El... "I always wanted to paint. I enjoy it so much!

"I'm David Fernando Duke Bonilla. I was born in 1979 in El Triunfo, El Salvador. In 1980, during the civil war, my family found it necessary to move to the capital to escape the political persecution. I grew up in the city and studied in Catholic schools until I received my bachelor's degree.

My first contact with the world of art occurred when I was 12. At 16, I took classes in facial and corporal expression. But my parents didn't want me to study art so I majored in architecture. However, after a couple of disappointments, I met two painters. When I saw how they were making their dreams come true, I joined a collective of young artists and began developing my own painting skills.

"I don't remember my first work of art but I remember that, when the peace agreements were underway, I painted a scene on the ceiling of my house. I called it 'Los Muchachos,' which is what we called the guerrilla fighters.

"I've been painting professionally now since 2009, exhibiting and selling my work. For me, art is a way of escaping a society that kills, that steals, a society that is arrogant, egotistical, ambitious, egocentric. A society given over to individualism, ungratefulness, voracity and greed. Through painting, I've been able to create in another world. It has helped me survive my severe alcoholism. It has opened doors to strangers who have become an important part of my art.

"Thanks to my friends, I've continued learning and improving my techniques. I never studied art, although I wanted to. The most important part is asking other artists about their techniques and applying my own style and colors.

"My art is directly related with the culture in which we are ultimately living. It has become a custom, a tradition, and many of my abstracts possess this component of violence as far as color goes. I really enjoy painting abstracts because, when I begin, I never know how it will turn out. For my abstract paintings, I do not make sketches. I simply experiment until I tell myself, 'This is it.'

"I have a number of dreams in this life. One is to popularize my country's fine art. l also want to make young people aware that, through art, they can awaken a way of thinking. I have a personal dream, too, one that hasn't yet come true. I dream of traveling to Europe."

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
