I’m David Masters, known as Surreal24seven. I was born in New York and moved to Los Angeles at 17, and years later I ended up in Guatemala. I worked in my father’s family business until it was violently taken over, which left me stranded in a small windowless room with barely enough WiFi to stay connected to anything. That’s where I started building surreal worlds as a way to stay grounded and rebuild myself.

Everything I make comes from lived experience. I create each piece by combining hundreds of AI-generated photographs and blending them in Photoshop and Lightroom. My art is my voice, raw, sometimes childlike, always unfiltered. If a piece doesn’t stir thought or feeling, it’s a failure.

Collectors connect with that honesty. My work has been accepted into SuperRare, shown in galleries, and featured in contests and on global billboards. Through 1/1 NFTs, commissions, and prints, each piece carries a part of my story and the path I’m still on.

I’m working toward Chicago now, a place my art has already reached, and I’m building toward more gallery shows, more commissions, and new bodies of work. Every artwork is a memory reshaped into something surreal and alive.

Take a look around the portfolio. If something speaks to you, make it part of your story too.
