Antonio Velez: The Dream To Explore

Artist Antonio Velez

Words Tom Czibolya

“I find inspiration in everyday scenes. The way people dress, youth, their interactions, their attitude” – Mexican-American photographer and image maker Antonio Velez’s photography merges fashion with surreal elements, and portrait-heavy storytelling. His magic lies within the details of his pictures through which he celebrates diversity, character, rebellion, and the sensuality of the human experience, crafting a visual language that speaks to these themes with honesty and passion.

“My dream as a child was to be able to explore further, as much as I can.”

“My dream as a child was to be able to explore further, as much as I can.” Exchanging the San Francisco skyline to Berlin’s scenery, Antonio developed a unique style that champions authenticity, boldness, and emotion, and we couldn’t be happier to have him taking part in our springtime Celebration of Love. Antonio is part of Container Love’s latest special, Spring Is My Love, our ongoing series celebrating a new season with beautiful, new artists to discover!
