The Story of DaveArt

– a part of hockey history

David Gunnarsson, the artist behind DaveArt, has been painting as long as he can remember. Back then it was just a dream and his only real choice for a career.

Growing up in the countryside…his grandfather told him he would become a farmer and take over the family business. But David´s greatest passion was art, he painted all the time and when he didn’t paint he would brainstorm new paintings with his fantasy and creativity.
