David Carpanini was born in Abergwynfi, Glamorgan. He studied at Gloucestershire College of Art from 1964 to 1968, and then at the Royal College of Art in London from 1968 to 1971. During his time at the RCA he was awarded the British Institution’s Scholarship for Engraving. From 1992 to 2000 he was Professor of Art at the University of Wolverhampton.
Carpanini’s work centres around the landscape of his native Wales, and even in those works in which human presence is seen or felt, the natural landscape is often the dominating motif. Carpanini is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and a member of other notable institutions, including the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal West of England Academy. He was the first Welsh President of the Royal Society of Painter - Printmakers.
