Steven Antonio Manes (1993, BE) Belgium based Italian visual artist. Steven spontaneously conducts an in-depth investigation that reflects on the existence and value of man in a world that is fleeting and transient. 

His Italian roots have a profound influence on his work. In the South of Italy, he was very inspired and attracted by every aspect of this landscape, but mainly the roughness and abstract shapes. The attraction to the landscape makes the work very grounded, earthly, and gives it character. 

It is not only the search for his roots that characterises Steven Antonio as an artist, at the same time there lies a yearning for the abandoned country, as well as the weight of that history in Antonio’s work.

Steven Antonio works in an explosive manner, showing the perishability of the world and existential thoughts through abstract-expressionist drawings and Arte Povera-inspired sculptures.
