DAVID MADERO is considered to be one of the foremost welding sculptors in the world and has been seen internationally by millions of people as a host/judge on Netflix’s Metal Shop Masters. Without formal studies in art, he has mastered the technique of welded artwork in mild steel, stainless steel, bronze, and copper. He uses a variety of welding processes that include Mig, Tig, Stick and Oxyacetylene – in which he has decades of experience. In the practice of his art, Madero cultivates abstract as well as impressionistic forms to elaborate the figurative with textures, polished surfaces and patinas. His subject matter is often fantastical and includes the conceptual as well as the observable; creating a surreal world of his own which invokes the organic and the telluric. His monumental and smaller works of art have been commissioned by many private collectors and international companies including Activision, Blizzard, Dickies, Jack Daniel’s, Adobe Photoshop, ESAB, Miller Electric and Pemex. Madero is also highly sought after as an educator to give welded art workshops and demonstrations across the globe, in countries like Japan, Italy, Kazakhstan, USA, and Mexico. One of his greatest passions in life is teaching the wonderful array of possibilities that are found in metal art.
