Meet the artist

William Sene

My name is William Sene, I was born in São José dos Pinhais on July 1, 1998. Since I was six years old I already had a great passion for the art of drawing, I spent most of the time in this activity, in school I always had a good performance, a fact observed by the teachers who, over the years, encouraged me to follow my artistic dream. At the age of 10, I started the first course in the artistic field, it was a course of painting on canvas and in it I learned the first techniques of drawing, painting and perspective. At age 12 I began to perfect my techniques but unfortunately I had to interrupt the course due to health issues. A cancer was diagnosed in the pineal region, so I underwent two surgeries and chemotherapeutic and radiotherapeutic treatments for approximately one year. Then, with my health restored, I resumed the course of artistic design and finished it, I enrolled in the course of drawing of human figure, taught by the teacher Marinês Santana Veiga, in the Center for Training in Arts Guido Viáro, in a period of three years. In this institution I participated in some artistic projects and obtained opportunities to hold some exhibitions, where I had the great pleasure to meet the artists Luiz Rettamozo and Denise Roman. In the meantime, I was invited by the coordinator Sabrina Rosa Cadori to teach drawing classes for children and adolescents, it was a unique experience, an activity that became another great passion. Always seeking to improve my techniques, I currently study drawing through private lessons and have plans for the implementation of some artistic projects, whose main focus is to contribute to the development of new talents and transmit to them a passion for art.
