Bas Steens (1996, Amsterdam) is a multidisciplinary artist and illustrator from Breda, in 2020, he graduated from the St Joost School of Art & Design. Currently, he works as an illustrator, conducts workshops in schools, and engages in his own autonomous art projects including paintings, sculptures and films.
