About me

Born in Petrópolis, Brazil / based in New York

Antonio Oliveira Filho is a contemporary multi-disciplinary artist whose life and career reflect a journey across disciplines, cultures, and geographies, moving from his native Brazil to the dynamic art scene of New York, Antonio creates a unique synthesis of Brazilian sensibility, academic artistic training, and multicultural dialogue.

He has developed a deeply personal visual language shaped by curiosity, experimentation, and cultural hybridity. His work stands as a reminder that art can be both a record of personal journeys and a universal reflection on the shared human experience.
Refusing to be confined to a single artistic language, he moves fluidly between abstraction, fashion and figuration, his compositions evoke a sense of mystery and introspection, inviting viewers to engage with e symbolic narratives of identity, migration, memory, and transformation.
His background in the fashion industry, notably collaborating with designer Carlos Falchi infused his dimensional works with a visual storytelling.

Antônio is deeply committed to using art as a platform for global dialogue and community exchange, constantly evolving through encounters and lived experience."*
Featured across Brazil and the United States, including exhibitions at the United Nations, the New York Public Library and Art galleries, showcasing initiatives like the Migration Art Expo, connecting diverse artists and elevating emerging voices.
His multi-disciplinary trajectory, led to a Beyond Fashion project that serves as a conceptual bridge where he takes his deep understanding of fashion and elevates it into interactive visual performances, this project allows him to collaborate with international artists exploring deeper, non-static narratives about memory, identity, and transformation.
