Anthony Tanios (b. 2002) is a contemporary artist whose work explores the intersection of structure and fluidity. His signature visual language, rooted in the philosophy of Structured Chaos, reflects the tension between control and disruption, discipline and instinct. Through intricate compositions and a distinct, fluid character that serves as both messenger and guide, Tanios creates works that are both immediately recognizable and infinitely interpretable.
Having lived between Beirut, Paris, Madrid, Riyadh and now based in Dubai, Tanios’ experiences navigating multiple cultural landscapes have profoundly shaped his artistic vision. His work delves into themes of identity, perception, and systems of power, often critiquing the frameworks that govern society—whether corporate structures, personal mindsets, or collective ideologies. His background in strategy consulting, an industry built on rigid logic and efficiency, stands in direct contrast to his creative practice, where he actively disrupts structure to create meaning.
Tanios’ works are accessible yet complex, visually clear yet conceptually open-ended. Each piece invites the viewer into an enigma—an intricate world where details reveal narratives, and shifting perspectives alter interpretation. He does not impose meaning; instead, he offers a space for exploration, where art is experienced rather than explained.
His work is not bound by any single medium and can exist anywhere.
