THE ART OF DAVID METZGER (PAVOR NOCTURNUS)

David Metzger is a Hungary-based artist/musician with a background in film and television concept art, as well as fantasy, sci-fi, and horror illustration. His creative process incorporates a wide range of digital mediums, including drawing, painting, 3D and VR-based techniques. He uses these techniques/mediums to "create cover and merchandise artwork," Metzger says. "My style blends a love for Metal music with aesthetics inspired by the dark-toned metal subgenres of the 1990s, alongside epic surreal fantasy landscapes."

The name of Metzger's creative studio is “Pavor Nocturnus.” This is a Latin term that describes episodes of intense fear emerging from deep sleep, most common in children and often leaving no memory behind. "Pavor Nocturnus is the anguish of a forming consciousness awakening to the human condition," the artist comments. "It is the realization of imprints within us from lives before our birth and glimpses of paths beyond our passing. It is the echo of our transcendent being - the strings embedded deep within the unconscious mind being struck and resonating through the ages."

David Metzger/Pavor Nocturnus is now accepting new commissions.
