David Madero

As far as Metal Artists go, David Madero has reached some incredible heights. Making giant public Art and incredibly expressive work David has found his voice in Steel. His father was a metal sculptor and brought David’s older brother into the shop to help with the fabrication of art. A 4 year old David was compelled to follow and help. These formative years gave him the technique and training to figure out how to express himself. We had a great talk about the love of Gas Welding and how “the weld” is the intrinsic part of David’s work. We talked about what it was like being a judge on Netflix’s series “Metalshop Masters” and what’s son the horizon for this talented sculptor. I definitely want to have David back, what great time. Thanks again for your flexibility. We’ll do it again.
