His artwork is driven by self-imposed predetermined sets of rules, or “visual algorithms,” which find their end-result in intensely concentrated and vibrantly colored freehand geometric patterns. Siena works across a diverse range of media, including lithography, etching, woodcut, engraving, drawing, and painting. Siena received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cornell University and teaches at New York’s School of Visual Arts in the Master of Fine Arts department. In 2021, Siena was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts. His work has been exhibited widely including solo exhibitions at Dieu Donné, New York; Herbert F. Johnson Mu
