Tona (1983) - Perniciosa

TONA lives in Hamburg and counts among the influential figures of contemporary stencil art. Active as an artist since 1999, he has been working since 2002 consistently with hand-cut stencils.

His works are based on his own photographic studies created during travels. From these, he develops precise, multi-layered image motifs in a reduced color palette and clear formal language. At the center is the sensitive observation of human perception and everyday situations.

Characteristic are technical precision and the deliberate inclusion of transience – patina, materiality and urban change become part of the work. In addition to works in public spaces, TONA creates large-format murals and presents his works internationally in exhibitions and collections.
