Tõnis Vint studied at Estonian Academy of Arts. The recorded working language is Estonian. Work by Tõnis Vint is recorded in the collections of Art Museum of Estonia. Distinctions recorded are Order of the White Star, 4th Class and Merited Artist of Estonian SSR.
Vint was born in Tallinn. His exhibition in the city's art museum, KUMU, continued to September 9, 2012. Alongside it, KUMU published a book, Tõnis Vint and his aesthetic universe. Vint was influenced by the art of China and Japan, by psychoanalysis, and by comparative analysis of ornaments from different cultures. Vint's frequent use of bold lines and sharp contrast has drawn comparisons to the work of Aubrey Beardsley.
