Later, from the University of 蜜糖直播颅颅鈥揃oulder, David received his MFA in Drawing and Painting. Alcantar鈥檚 artistic philosophy is that art speaks to what is common in human experience more than to what is particular, and that it points to beauty that exists in the world. Alcantar鈥檚 current work concerns human negotiation behavior 鈥� because it is a universal human activity 鈥� and the impacts of negotiated choices on the narratives and relationships between people, environments, systems, and experiences. Specifically, his work attempts to illustrate the internalized and time-based 鈥渁ctivity鈥� of negotiation through paintings and drawings, to heighten the awareness and understanding of the power dynamics involved in negotiations. David Alcantar currently works and resides in San Antonio, TX.
