About

David Schmitt, also known as "Tuyo" is a self-taught artist and printmaker based in the south of Germany. In his work he tries to capture a timeless aspect, using organic shapes, archaic symbols and an intuitive approach. Always fascinated by different cultures across the globe, their similarities in expression and art he tries to point toward the importance of community, compassion, and the reflection of our modern values.
"For me, art can be a way to reconnect with our human experience as we often stumble upon the archetypical forms and symbols which seem to be reproduced again and again throughout different times in human existence."
