Daniel Senise

Daniel Senise is a prominent Brazilian contemporary artist born in 1955 in Rio de Janeiro, known for his large-scale paintings that blend figuration and abstraction. His work often incorporates unconventional techniques, including pressing pigment-coated canvas onto floors to capture the textures and traces of surfaces, creating richly layered compositions that evoke memory, time, and architectural space. Senise has exhibited internationally at major institutions and biennials, establishing himself as one of the leading figures of Brazilian contemporary painting.
