"La Incognita," a monochrome masterpiece by David Scholes in the realm of abstract realism, embodies a powerful commentary on the societal expectations thrust upon women. The painting masterfully depicts a woman's face, capturing not just her physical features but the complex layers of her identity and the struggle against traditional norms. The woman's face takes center stage, exuding an air of strength and resilience, juxtaposed against a background that mirrors her portrait. This symbolic choice reflects the societal pressure for women to conform, to blend into the backdrop, and to be nondescript—to go unnoticed and unheard. In capturing this narrative, "La Incognita" confronts the age-old stereotypes and expectations that society often imposes on women. It challenges the notion that women should simply 'go with the flow' or remain subservient, urging them to rise above these confines and break free from the imposed silence. The grayscale palette emphasizes the stark contrast between light and shadow, adding depth and intensity to the portrayal. The woman's gaze conveys a sense of determination and a quiet rebellion against the narrative of being unseen and unheard. "La Incognita" invites viewers to reflect on the reality faced by modern women, encouraging a deeper understanding of the struggles they endure and the importance of challenging societal norms. It serves as a potent call for empowerment, expression, and the right to be seen, heard, and celebrated in their uniqueness and strength.

David L Scholes takes a unique approach to art that engages with contemporary debates. His work is full of references and ideas that are deeply integrated into the composition of the piece and may be missed by those who don't take the time to fully explore the work. His paintings are self-referential, but still aesthetically pleasing, and are firmly rooted in the history of modernism. They have been exhibited in London and Switzerland and have received praise from international art publications. Alongside famous artists Vincent Van Gogh and Edvard Munch, Scholes has been featured in a comparative study and is admired by many artists and students. His painting "La Obsesión" gained recognition on national and international social media platforms. “My approach to art is grounded in the philosophy of abstract realism, where I intricately blend the intricacies of realistic portrayal with the liberating essence of abstract expressionism. By seamlessly navigating through a diverse spectrum of genres, including contemporary, mixed media, and abstract, I continuously challenge the conventional norms of artistic expression, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is deemed possible within the realm of visual representation. In every stroke, every layer, and every texture, I am driven by a profound motivation to evoke a visceral response from my audience, to create a dialogue that transcends the confines of language and cultural barriers. Through the harmonious fusion of colours and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, I seek to create an immersive experience that prompts introspection and emotional resonance, inviting the viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and introspection”.
