Computer Hand
One of David’s favorite themes are computers and this one he creates a hand laughing at the computer and his spermatozoa computer mouse.
Artwork
Don Quixote
David painted this live with his jazz pianist friend playing Spanish-inspired music.
Troubadour
This painting was done live with David de Hilster listening to live piano by his pianist friends who was playing “Spanish-like” music.
Rio at Night
David imagined the Corcovado Christ Statue in the clouds with moonlight in the clouds and reflecting on the ocean and all the city lights of Rio de Janiero.
Jazz Blue and White
David painted this painting live with a jazz pianist friend, inspired by the music and rhythms.
Fishing Village
This was a painting that David copied from his grandmother in honor of her own artwork. Although she was not an artist, Helen de Hilster started drawing and painting lessons late in life and when she passed, passed on canvases and paints to David.
Patricia and Luanda
David took a photo of his mom with Luanda and made this drawing. It is very special to David because his mom loved Luanda being that she was a granddaughter with the “de Hilster” name. Now that David’s mom is gone, this drawing is very special to David.
Treehouse
David was inspired by the treehouse he had back in Galion Ohio in a big willow tree. It was cut down needlessly and it was one of the fond childhood memories of his.
Doris
De Hilster, tired of doing realistic pencil drawings, promised his wife Doris to draw her portrait. In 1990, David finally capitulated. This was from a live setting and took about two and a half hours.
Corner Kick
De Hilster applied oil paint to melatile and began drawing with a coat hanger and palette knife. During the painting, he added acrylic paint to the oil to add color. The scene is a corner kick in a stadium in Brazil.
