David Skylar

David Skylar (April 29, 1995 - April 29, 2053) was an American painter, inventor, and mathematician.

Throughout his life, Skylars output of original artwork was seemingly sparse, with fewer than ten being known to exist. However, based on his own writings, as well as claims from those who knew him, he was possibly much more prolific than his surviving body of work would suggest, as he would apparently burn paintings that he did not feel came out correctly.

Alongside his own works survives a vast array of reproductions. Among these is a piece that he is most well known for, a reproduction of a Chinese painting depicting the 2020 Hong Kong fire. Skylars copy, and its unusual and unsettling stylistic alterations
