I try to be fast and spontaneous when I’m painting - that process should be reflected in the final piece. The observer should be able to infer the physicality of the painting process, when Humanity might be gone in 10,000 years. This may be the only time where our consciousness exists in this universe, so it is important what we feed ourselves. But there is nothing else that can mimic the human spirit, only we can mold the future we create for ourselves. The future is bright, as long as we sacrifice our power and surrender to the unknown.

Mario Henrique is a Portuguese painter best known for his contemporary, large scale portraiture. His approach relies on drippings, splashes and paint throws, so that the physicality of the painting process is transparent in the final piece.

Listed in various private collections across Europe, America and Asia, Mario was awarded an Honourable Mention for his participation in the Brasília Biennial of Contemporary Arts 2016 and he is currently represented by the Bill Lowe Gallery and Les Galeries Bartoux, amongst other international galleries. Mario owns a studio/gallery at the Marina, in Cascais (Portugal), where some of his paintings are on permanent exhibition.
