About
Dave Santia
Welcome to
Dave Santia's
Art and Soul.
Dave Santia began his artistic journey at the young age of 7!
Dave also has a love for music. One day, while he was sitting at home wondering how he could combine his two loves of art and music, he found himself surfing on YouTube when he came across a video of speed painter Denny Dent. Dave watched that video, and thought to himself, “I think I can do that.” So he practiced, and worked at it and soon unveiled his Art and Soul.
Originally planning on using his speed painting ability to get people’s attention and to get them interested in his oil paintings that can take up to 40 hours, Dave soon found himself invited to perform his speed paintings at various charitable fundraisers and occasional corporate events.
