The Whitney is the only museum dedicated to American art and artists. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney founded the Museum in 1930, taking a bold stand for American artists who were often overlooked. Today, our collection features works by over 4,000 artists, including luminaries like Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Alexander Calder, and Faith Ringgold. Our signature exhibition, the Whitney Biennial, is the longest-running survey of American art, where artists test boundaries, spark conversation, and shape culture.
Every visit to the Whitney is an invitation to engage with the pressing issues and leading artists of our time through an array of exhibitions and programming for all ages. Robust free and discounted offerings, such as Free Friday Nights and Free Second Sundays, ensure that the Whitney is as accessible as it is inspirational. Located in the heart of New York City’s vibrant Meatpacking District, our Renzo Piano-designed building features state-of-the-art galleries and sweeping skyline views of the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building from our terraces. After viewing the galleries, visitors can grab a drink and a bite at Studio Bar and Frenchette Bakery or explore neighborhood attractions like the High Line and Little Island. The Whitney is your home for discovering the richness and complexity of American art.
Mario Henrique is a contemporary painter based in Cascais, Portugal.
After graduating in Design from Lisbon’s University of Fine Arts, he began his career in online marketing and web development agencies as a creative director, where he led teams in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil. A decade later, he shifted his focus to contemporary painting, which had always been a parallel interest.
Mario is a prolific portraitist who is fascinated by the unpredictability of human behaviour, from brief glances to the impermanence of facial expressions. He uses unconventional and rough materials such as cardboard, reversed canvases, and hardware tools, painting abruptly and spontaneously. His approach relies on drippings, splashes, and paint throws, revealing the physicality of the painting process in the final piece.
Mario Henrique's paintings are listed in private collections worldwide and he has exhibited both locally and abroad. He's also currently represented by various prestigious international galleries and owns a studio/gallery at the Marina in Cascais, where some of his paintings are publicly displayed.
All artists on the platform are selected by our curatorial team or gallery partners and must adhere to strict standards for service and quality, maintaining the integrity of our listings.
