Young Italian artist has been active since 2003 "both on walls and canvases", as he himself states. In these years he developed a passion for graffiti and stencil. Having first become part of hip hop culture, he then entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania where, in addition to learning new artistic techniques, he also fell in love with the world of Greek and Roman myths that became inspiration for many of his works. . Davide Maria Seme works on different supports, road signs, wood, cardboard, on which he intervenes with stencils and spray art: in his works we can find both the great classical themes, famous icons of the Baroque and Italian Renaissance, as well as contemporary and political inspirations, criticisms of modern society, reflections tout court on the daily facts of the reality that surrounds us

In the series, an in-depth study of classical or modern works and sculptures in a street pop style is created, Davide Maria Seme creates his works starting from the photograph of a situation, and then arriving, through a process that includes photography - graphics - stencil technique - painting, at the end of the work, which is often made with the spray technique with stencil art, thus obtaining classic shapes and subjects in a pop - street style. Although the artist uses manual techniques of stencil art (manual cutting on paper using a cutter, cutting lines that can reach up to 200 M for a single stencil) the use of the "free hand" is fundamental and becomes the artist's trademark. Active since 2003 in Italy, his works made with different supports are known internationally, and present in various European collections and beyond.
