Husband, father, paint nerd🤓 #1️⃣ NHL Mask Artist & The Cradle Of Creativity for the best NHL goalies for more than 3️⃣0️⃣ years 🥅🎨🥇🏆

🚨 #DaveArtExhibitionAlert 🚨

What an unforgettable Thursday night at the museum. ❤️
I had the honor to share stories from my 30 year paint ride as a full time artist… from the early days with brushes and airbrush in my little studio, to painting masks for goalies all over the NHL. 🎨🔥

Seeing the room filled with people listening to the journey, the creativity, the ups and downs, and all the memories behind the masks meant a lot to me.
So thankful for everyone who came out to experience the exhibition and be part of the celebration. 🙏

For 30 years I’ve lived my dream through art, storytelling and hockey masks… and the creativity still burns stronger than ever.
A new story. A new mask. Every single day.

The “Stories On Masks” exhibition is open all summer long, so if you want to experience the 30 year paint ride up close… you are welcome to step into the world of DaveArt. ❤️

Thank you for being part of the DaveArt Family and this never-ending paint ride. ❤️

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.

See the full Story of DaveArt

To paint a hockey mask… when Dave does it

When Dave paints a a hockey mask it is not just a painting, it is a Story.

The most important elements when creating an artwork on a mask are storytelling and creativity, to be able to think outside the box and transform the mask into a story.
