In 1974, David Gerstein graduated from the St. Martin’s School of Art in London, further strengthening his artistic education. His travels, encounters, and immersion in various cultures have shaped his unique perspective and influenced his work. These cosmopolitan experiences have fostered a multidimensional approach to art, where each piece carries cultural richness and vibrant energy that define his modern wall sculptures.
