Sen2, whose original name is Sandro Figueroa Garcia (b. 1969), is a Puerto Rican self taught graffiti writer and artist. In the 'golden age' of graffiti during the 1980's, Sen2 was one of the founders of Mad Crew, which had great success in the artist's native country of Puerto Rico. After having moved to the United States, Sen2 became a member of the legendary Tats Crew, a group of prominent New York based graffiti artists and muralists.

Sen2 evolved from spraying wild-style pieces on trains and walls to developing mixed media works on canvases. He moved from classical New York graffiti writing to a combination of graphic lettering styles with 3-D elements, imagery of pop art, and abstract art techniques. His color palette ranges from grayscale pieces to paintings in a full range of bright and shiny colors. Besides fine art and pop culture references, all of Sen2's pieces have graffiti elements in them to reflect his artistic roots and sophisticated style. He blurs the lines between graffiti and fine art.

Since 2001, his artwork has been on display around the globe, exhibiting in numerous solo and group shows in America, Canada, and throughout Europe. His work has been exhibited in the IFPDA Fair 2021, Art Basel, Wynnwood Walls, and he currently has an exhibition at the Bendheim Gallery in Greenwich CT.

Sen2 Studio is located in the Bronx, NY, where he currently resides.
