Denyse Thomasos (October 10, 1964 – July 19, 2012) was a Trinidadian-Canadian painter known for her abstract-style wall murals that conveyed themes of slavery, confinement and the story of African and Asian Diaspora.

[3] Thomasos and her family emigrated to Canada in 1970, settling in Toronto, Ontario, near Lawrence Avenue West and Keele Street.

[5] In 1994, Thomasos installed a mural entitled Recollect at contemporary artist-run centre Mercer Union in Toronto, Ontario.

Another posthumous show, "Urban Jewels," was hosted in 2013 at the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie, Ontario, curated by Ben Portis.

[4][3] Thomasos died suddenly in July 2012 at age forty-seven, due to an allergic reaction to dye injected[3] during a diagnostic medical procedure.
