Artist Biography American sculptor David Han was born in Beijing, China. His mother is a artist whose paintings are widely collected and his father is an engineer who worked for many years in China’s largest iron factory. He credits his parents for giving him the heart of an artist and the mind of an engineer.Under his mother’s guidance, David began his formal training in art at the age of 9, and continued until the age of 20 when he immigrated to the U.S. Over the next 14 years, he pursued a career in graphic and industrial design, and 3D illustration. In 2010 David finished his first sheet metal sculpture. Drawing on his many years of formal artistic training and his multi-faceted design experience he began developing a totally unique style of sculptural expression. Since 2014 David has devoted himself exclusively to his sculpture art. He resides in San Jose, CA.Awards and Commission:2018 AMERICAN ART AWARDSCATEGORY 44.
