His images draw from a wide range of philosophical and artistic influences. They unfold like an ancient deck of tarot cards, each one contributing a greater understanding to the next".

“The art of David Bollt Illuminates a vast and complex symbol language. A language that describes a temple, ancient and mysterious, ranging from the darkest and most disturbing of places to the brightest and most spiritual of mountain tops. His art paints a picture of the soul, balanced by dark and light in all it's changing and eternal forms. Many of these timeless i mages touch a place in us all as they rise from the mists of our own preconscious memories.”
