David Sentkar Bio

(b.1996) - multidisciplinary artist.

I started visual arts through drawing and painting at HEAD-Genève.
My practice then developed towards the video and performative medium, although drawing and painting remain central in my works.

From practicing visual arts, I went on to learn & practice the dramatic and stage arts at the Centre des Arts de la Scène (Paris) which include
acting, clown, dancing & singing.

I am currently working on future creations (audiovisual projects, plays and residencies)
