Distort: Bridging Classical and Street Art

David “Distort” Sepulveda, known as **DISTORT**, is a New Jersey-based artist fusing classical fine art with the raw energy of street art. A key figure in contemporary muralism, his bold compositions, intricate symbolism, and socially conscious themes push artistic boundaries.

Early Life and Influences
Growing up in Hoboken and South Orange, NJ, DISTORT was shaped by both suburban life and urban Newark. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, mastering sculpture, painting, and printmaking, while graffiti culture refined his signature aesthetic.
Art and Philosophy.

DISTORT’s murals blend Renaissance-inspired figures with modern street compositions, addressing social justice, history, and urban life. His massive mural near the **Holland Tunnel** stands as one of New Jersey’s largest solo works. Exhibiting from **Miami to Istanbul**, his art explores the cyclical nature of time, merging ancient and futuristic elements.

Legacy
For nearly two decades, DISTORT has challenged perceptions of public art, creating thought-provoking works that engage communities. More than a muralist, he is a storyteller shaping the future of contemporary art.
