David Short Art Prints

Discover the colourful and uplifting work of Scottish artist David Short, whose bold contemporary paintings celebrate colour, pattern, memory and the simple pleasures of everyday life.

Based in Midlothian, David creates vibrant, playful compositions designed to bring a sense of joy and positivity to the viewer. His work is influenced by familiar objects, childhood memories, travel and the personal possessions that become part of our lives and homes. From treasured family pieces and gifts from friends to scarves, souvenirs and other everyday objects, these familiar forms provide the inspiration for paintings filled with warmth, character and nostalgia.

Colour lies at the heart of David’s work. His confident use of strong shapes, energetic compositions and striking patterns gives his paintings an immediately recognisable contemporary feel, while the stories and memories behind them create a more personal connection.

David began pursuing art seriously later in life and has since undertaken extensive training at Leith School of Art, studying painting, printmaking and advanced studio practice. His work has been exhibited widely throughout Scotland, including at the Edinburgh Art Fair, Pittenweem Arts Festival, Borders Art Fair and numerous galleries and exhibitions. He has also received recognition from the Visual Art Open and the Chelsea Art Society Annual Show.

Above all, David’s paintings are created to make people feel good. Bright, optimistic and full of personality, they bring together colour, nostalgia and contemporary design to create artwork capable of adding warmth and energy to any interior.
