STORY OF AN ARTIST
David Nessl
Since 2007, David Nessl has created custom murals for private and commercial clients, blending surrealism and abstraction with a strong foundation in realism, often using rustic textures and chiaroscuro.
Trained in traditional, observation-based painting, he produces each mural entirely by hand, with work known for its depth, detail, and ability to define a space through distinctive, site-specific imagery.
