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, New York.
De Lira holds a BA in Art History & Studio Art from SUNY Albany (2019) and an MFA in Art Photography at Syracuse University (2023). His work concentrates on intimacy, desire, love and death within the gay community he navigates in, along with the subjects of his photographic gaze, who are part of his chosen family; his husband, lovers, friends and in-between, along with the American's north-eastern dame nature he surrounds himself with. |
