The painter David Berkowitz Chicago is born on January 30, 1943 in a family of painters. He finished elementary school in Aurora, the city where is he born. Influenced by his father, who was a contemporary painter, after finishing elementary school, he moved to Chicago and enrolled at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in order to learn history of contemporary art. But, soon he found out that learning history of contemporary art was not his passion.

David became aware of his truly passion at the age 26, when he suffered a serious spine injury, during a football match. He was hospitalized and tied to bed during two months. While he was in the hospital bed, he started painting portraits of patients. That was the moment he felt that painting fulfills him and that he wants to dedicate his entire love to painting. 

David enrolled at the Village art group. Because of his peculiar style however, he immediately distinguished himself from the other painters from his group.
In his paintings he uses elements of pumpkins, farm, granary, and bareback horses. 

David Berkowitz Chicago gives a special accent on the magical regions of childhood and the fairytale horses from his unforgettable collection. 

The colorful display used in his paintings, reflected as a contemplation of unsatisfactory beauty, an independent theme of the world, is an element in his paintings that brings him out from others.

David Berkowitz Chicago has presented his paintings on over 300 exhibitions around the world. He has exhibited in Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C, Le Louvre, Paris, France, The Acropolis Museum, Athens, Greece, The British Museum, London, England, El Prado, Madrid, Spain, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, New York.
