ANTONI VAN DE GEIJN
ART BY ANT
Antoni is a 19-year-old visionary artist and emerging creative force, based in a city near Amsterdam. His work is more than just painting; it is worldbuilding through art. Antoni has coined the term The Visual Universe to describe his unique approach—an interconnected, cinematic-like world where each painting serves as a scene from a vast, imagined reality. Like a filmmaker capturing frames of a larger narrative, he translates abstract emotions and untold stories onto the canvas, creating a universe that unfolds through colour, form, and texture.
A self-taught artist, Antoni experiments with unconventional tools such as protractors, cardboard, and spatulas to craft dynamic, tactile surfaces that are as immersive as they are visually striking. His works are poetic portraits of complex emotions, blending abstraction with storytelling in a way that invites viewers to engage and interpret their own connections within The Visual Universe.
Beyond painting, Antoni’s passion for filmmaking and poetry plays a crucial role in shaping his artistic voice. His painter’s eye influences his cinematic compositions, while his poetry breathes deeper meaning into the visual narratives he constructs. Through Art by Ant, he creates a space where art, film, and poetry merge—a place where modern creativity meets the timeless power of storytelling.
