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.

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.
