about

Visual artist All Seeing Seneca is best known for her digital paintings and character design.

Rolling Stone magazine stated her “creativity helped fuel a technological revolution,” lauding her contributions as lead designer of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), which rocked the NFT world as soon as they launched in April 2021. Her images have since sold at Sotheby’s and Christies, with secondary sales amassing 1 billion. The ape character became the center heart of a massive cultural community.

But Seneca’s story is a continuum, beginning long before that and extending into an upwardly trending future. Once a quiet kid living in her daydreams, she later studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and dedicated herself to a career in picture making. Her practice landed her a commercial clientele while her own paintings and illustrations gathered prestigious awards and exhibited in international galleries, shown most recently at The Armory in New York City.

Since leaving the BAYC project and under a guise of partial anonymity, Seneca’s work has continued to accrue accolades, soaking up the media spotlight, like being declared one of Coindesk’s “Most Influential Figures of 2021”, debuting her genesis collection which sold at auction at Art Basel 2021. Her work emerges with muted, yet illuminating palettes and expressions of surrealism - a mix that fans and collectors of her may describe as “cosmic horror and candyland”, inspired by her love for the macabre, animation, and iconography.
