ANTONIO GALVAN
Antonio Galvan is an artist influenced by abstract art and surrealism, using creative expression to explore emotions, symbolism, and introspective themes.
Based in Ramsey, New Jersey, he creates paintings and sculptures using materials such as bronze, aluminum, glass, ceramics, wood, and resin, blending strength and delicacy in his work.
His creative process is deeply connected—his sculptures inspire his paintings, and his paintings influence his sculptures. Each piece reflects his experimentation and evolves naturally as he works.
Galvan’s journey into art began at the age of 19 when he moved to New York City and started working as an art assistant, despite having no prior experience in the field. This challenge sparked a passion for art that has shaped his career and driven his ongoing exploration.
His work draws from European and Latin American contemporary influences, blending cultural symbols and social themes into a unique visual style that resonates across borders.
Galvan showcased his work at Art Basel in 2019 and has continued to expand his audience and influence. His art explores themes of identity, transformation, and the relationship between materials and emotions, creating pieces that are both impactful and thought-provoking.

My art invites each viewer to discover their interpretation of the work. Through a fusion of painting and sculpture, I explore the relationship between strength and fragility, using contrasting materials such as bronze, which conveys solidity, and glass, which evokes delicacy. My creative process is marked by experimentation and interaction with materials, allowing each piece to emerge as a dialogue between matter and emotion. My goal is to create works that not only express but also generate unique, personal connections for those who contemplate them.
