David Bornancin Art Coach
David Bornancin is a local Cleveland artist known for expressive landscapes and abstract paintings that evolve alongside the viewer. Self-taught and endlessly curious, David began creating art more than 18 years ago, first through drawing and illustration, then gradually finding his voice on canvas.

Beyond painting, David is passionate about helping other artists succeed. With over 30 years of experience in sales and relationship-building, he coaches local creatives on how to navigate the business side of art—bridging the gap between making meaningful work and confidently selling it.

Why would anyone Buy Paintings
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most artists try to convince you to buy their work. I’m doing the opposite.
Why would anyone invest in a painting from me?
That’s the question—and it deserves a real answer.
In this video, I break down what actually makes art worth owning. Not hype. Not trends. Not empty “follow your passion” talk. We’re talking about connection, meaning, and why certain pieces stay with you long after you’ve seen them.
I’ll also share what goes into my work, how my style evolved, and why over 100+ collectors chose to bring my art into their homes and businesses.
If you’ve ever wondered what separates decoration from something that actually matters, this is for you.
Watch this before you buy your next piece of art.

So I wanted to address one thing. A number of people have asked me, you know, why you? Why should we come to you? Why should we um come to you for advice? Why should we select your um art? Why should we look at your paintings? Why should we, you know, why should we trust you? Um trust is the number one factor. People to people, trust, honesty, and integrity. In any business I know of, those elements, those keys, those keywords are everything. So why would you buy art from me? Why would you look at my acrylic paintings? Why would you look at my collection? Why would you consider purchasing one of my items? Because it's pure, it's honest, it's genuine, it's original, it's custom made, it's one of a kind. And I care more about the customers than I care about the sale. And that's an honest answer. I care more about my customers than the actual sale. Because the buying process and the buying experience is what works. Every time I do a show and I have the opportunity to talk to over a thousand people, uh, is such an unbelievable energy surge. And a one-on-one, you start building these one-on-one connections and customers, and that's the reason why. The reason why is because of the way I do things and because I care about the people I interact with. Help people that are trying to figure things out, help people that are trying to understand what reality really is. The number one thing with me, with people, is truth. Uh, as soon as I feel like I'm being lied to, that's when I disconnect. So I'm I'm very much into building trust and building the bond with the audience, with the community, with the people. So that's why uh I communicate this way, and that's why I use my uh voice as a voice to the people to help people. And the end result is if I change one person's life out there in the world, that's important to me. So uh I hope this is helpful, I hope this is thoughtful, I hope this is mindful, but I just wanted to address that. You know, why me? Why would you listen to me, number one? Why would you trust me? And am I the real thing? I am the real thing. I've been doing business for over 40 years, I've been doing artwork for 18 years. So I am the real thing. I know what I'm talking about. And when it comes to business, I can't tell you how to run an Amazon. But I can certainly tell you how to run an art business and how to design your creations and how to take you down a path that's an honest path and give you real reality and real life stories versus a bunch of nonsense and a bunch of lies and people telling me that they made$50 million in five minutes. That doesn't work for me. So I hope this is uh good. Look forward to talking to you again.
