Antonio Kuschnir (2001, Rio de Janeiro) lives and works between Germany and Brazil. 

​

His work explores the contradictions between reality and fiction, blending personal and collective cosmologies in vibrant paintings that operate in a dreamlike world.

​

He holds a Bachelor's degree in Painting from the School of Fine Arts of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (EBA/UFRJ). 

​

Kuschnir began exhibiting in 2017 and held his first solo exhibition at Galeria Macunaíma in 2019. In 2022, the exhibition “Choro” opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Niterói (MAC), making him the youngest artist in history to have a solo exhibition at the institution. Between 2022 and 2024, he held exhibitions in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Niterói, and João Pessoa, in addition to the solo exhibition “Avalanche” at Galpão 808 in Rio. Based in Europe since 2024, he has produced exhibitions in Bonn and Cologne, Germany. In March 2025, he held a solo exhibition at Galeria Baró in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. In June of the same year, he opened the solo exhibition “O Canto do Rio” in Genoa, Italy, with ABC-ARTE, with whom he published his first catalog book. He is currently preparing a solo exhibition in Milan for February 2026.
