David Hart Original

Dragonfly - Oil Painting (2022)

David’s fascination with dragonflies and ants was inspired by his father Pro’s passion for the subjects. As a child, he spent countless hours sketching these now-iconic creatures and observing his father at work. In March 2006, Pro Hart passed away at his home in Broken Hill, NSW, after battling Motor Neurone Disease. Shortly before his death, David promised to preserve his father’s secret techniques and distinctive style used in the Dragonfly paintings—an oath that has since driven him to evolve the series into his own unique artistic expression.

Renowned Australian artist David Hart was born and raised in Broken Hill, where he first discovered his passion for painting while working alongside his father, the late Pro Hart (M.B.E.). Beginning his artistic journey at just 16, David has built a distinguished 35-year career, earning international recognition and becoming one of Australia’s most highly collected artists.

Lou Vella

Buying my David Bromley through HartFinds was a dream—great price, seamless process, and the confidence of purchasing through the trusted Hart family. I couldn’t be happier with the artwork!

Susan Paterson

I recently sold a Pro Hart painting on and They handled all aspects of the sale including transport of the painting from my home, located outside Queensland, to the buyer. The service they provided was exemplary. Very professional service. Highly recommended.

Pam McEvoy

I sold my Pro Hart from my home in Europe after owning it for well over 30 years. I was quite cautious about such a long distance arrangement but the gallery was very effective and friendly. Christine offered personal and professional service and guidance. I am also happy that it could be returned to Australia and handled by the Hart family.- the best solution really. Happy to recommend!

Secutary Ihtan

A big shout out of thanks and appreciation to Christine and the team who advised us well as we prepared to sell a Pro Hart original: their expert advice, followed trustingly, was rewarded with a prompt sale at a reasonable price.

About the Artist

David Hart

David Hart, born in 1971 in the outback mining town of Broken Hill, NSW, is the son of the late Pro Hart—an iconic Australian artist and miner. Immersed in creativity from an early age, David grew up surrounded by art, often working side-by-side with his father in one of the many studios on the family property. Under Pro’s quiet mentorship, David explored painting, sculpting, enamelling, casting, and welding—learning through exposure, experimentation, and self-discovery rather than formal training.

At the age of sixteen, David completed his first series of paintings, marking the beginning of a full-time artistic career that now spans over 35 years. Today, he is recognised as one of Australia’s most collected and celebrated contemporary artists.
