Daniel Senise Biography

An acclaimed Brazilian artist of international fame, Daniel Senise currently lives and works in New York. His work belongs to the constructivist movement that developed in the 1980s.

He uses textures and objects to create volume within a two dimensional surface, and his materials reinterpret gradations and veilings to produce a kind of “picture-architecture” that sets up a system of illusions that go beyond geometric compositions to an apparently uninhabited space. He is influenced by distinct movements throughout the history of European painting, from Friedrich to classic surrealism.
