Jan Senbergs is a Melbourne-based painter and printmaker. He was born in Latvia in 1939 and migrated to Australia in 1950. Died, February, 2024. His works, which often have dark themes focusing on industrialised landscapes, are in many major galleries in Australia and overseas. He has won many awards, including the William Dobell Drawing Prize three times (1993–95). He was a member of the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council (1984–87), a Trustee of the National Gallery of Victoria (1984–89) and in 1989 was the Visiting Professor, Chair of Australian Studies at Harvard University, Boston, USA.

In 1993 the Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne staged a major Senbergs survey exhibition, Imagined Sites – Imagined Realities and in 2008 the Art Gallery of New South Wales surveyed the development of his career over 25 years in the exhibition Jan Senbergs – from Screenprinter to Painter.

In the late 1970s the Public Arts Committee of the Visual Arts Board nominated Jan Senbergs as one of Australian artists whose work should be considered for the High Court. The Constitution Wall and States Wall mural is Senbergs’ largest commission and has been described as 'by far the most important work of art in the High Court'.
