Daniel Senise is known for paintings that explore memory, space, and the presence or absence of objects. His process often involves transferring textures from real surfaces—like floors or walls—onto canvas or fabric, creating layered works that feel both physical and architectural. He combines materials such as dust, fabric, and photographic elements, building images that blur the line between painting and installation.
Daniel Senise was born in 1955 in Rio de Janeiro and originally trained in civil engineering before studying art at the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage. He has participated in major international exhibitions, including the São Paulo Biennial and the Venice Biennale, and has exhibited in leading museums worldwide. He lives and works between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, maintaining a prominent role in contemporary Brazilian art.
