David Boyer was born in Port Au Prince, Haiti on January 6, 1976. His natural curiosity for art began to develop at a young age. When he was 12 years old, he started to work in the workshop of Tibout, making sequenced voodoo flags. It was there he mastered sequence art, and began to help other artists develop their techniques. Boyer began to work closely with Pierrot Barrat, in the Iron Market along with other artists and artisans. In 1995, he joined forces with Lherisson Dubreus and both began to explore their own individual creative inspiration setting them apart from the rest of the artists they knew. Soon after they co-founded the Kongo Lawouze workshop. In 2006, David Boyer began exploring a new form of art which was a marriage of all the previous experiences he had acquired including his new found passion for recuperation art. In 2008, he held his first collective exhibit at Galerie Monnin with three other Haitian artists-Pasko, Dubreus, and Senatis. Aftewards, He began to work closely with Barbara Prezeau Stevenson, artist, historian, and founder of AfricAmerica. He exposed at the Georges Liataud Museum in Croix des Bouquets. In 2011, his career took an international turn, and he participated in his first exhibit abroad at the Little Haiti Cultural Center in Miami, under the wings of art curators Edouard Duval Carrie and Mireille Gonzales. David Boyer was soon after invited to participate in exhibits in New Mexico, Canada, France, and Cuba. David Boyer continues to expose in various exhibit spaces in Haiti including MUPANAH,Atelier Jerome, and Kolektif 509. David Boyer currently lives and works in Bel Air.
