With over 40 years of career, painter Daniel Senise is among the most important Brazilian contemporary artists. Through an intimate encounter with Senise — whether during the setup of his exhibitions, in conversations with curators and friends, or in the solitude of creation — Not Everything Has to Be About Something reveals what drives his ideas and poetic force. The film is not a biography of the artist, but rather a snapshot of his work during a phase in which he explores new mediums that go beyond traditional painting.
