David De Lira (he/they) is a queer, BIPOC, lens-based artist and educator born (1991) and raised in northern Mexico. Currently based in Schenectady & Syracuse, New York.
De Lira holds a BA in Art History & Studio Art from SUNY Albany (2019) and an MFA in Art Photography from Syracuse University (2023). His work concentrates on intimacy, desire, love, and death within the queer community he navigates, along with the subjects of his photographic gaze—individuals who are part of his chosen family: his husband, lovers, friends, and those in-between. This exploration extends to the captivating landscapes of the American Northeast that surround him. |
