Hello, I’m Raz David. For a long time I created under the mask and pseudonym of plague doctor. That mask was more than a disguise: it embodied my artistic passions and served as a companion through landscapes soaked in hardship and hopelessness. It helped me channel my inner world and reach those in need, offering art as a remedy to them lying at the bottom of their lives: myself, before anyone else.
Now, I step forward without the mask.
The spirit behind plague doctor remains. Committed to the same raw, honest, and healing expression, but the name is now Raz David. Through this name I continue my work: creating freely, fiercely, and without compromise. With time and maturity, I have grown into this new identity, carrying everything I was into everything I am becoming. At the core of this new chapter is the drive to create art for its own sake. Not for recognition or validation, but for the pure beauty of the act itself.
I believe art must stay as unbound as possible. The mask once guarded that freedom; now, I do. I still work from a place unshaped by institutions or dogma. I never studied art in the formal sense. My path has always been one of learning by doing, creating from something that can’t be taught. Art, to me, isn’t something to chase. It erupts from beneath the surface, unexpected and unavoidable.
So here I am: soul laid bare, welcoming you into the archives of my life. Each poem, each frame, each piece has been placed here with intention. I hope it serves you well. If you have questions, thoughts, or wish to connect, feel free to reach out via email.
Enjoy your visit.
