SONA (1989) - Young Toys (Urban Collection)

Artist: SONA

Originating from Paris, SONA is a committed artist whose creative essence draws roots from the pure subversion of the underground graffiti movement, having forged his first weapons in the arteries of the Paris metro.
Over the years, SONA has built a prolific and radical body of work, passionately pushing the boundaries of urban expression. His distinctive aesthetic and bold vision quickly elevated him to a leading figure on the contemporary scene.
Deeply rooted in artistic activism, SONA orchestrates striking urban interventions. His work questions established dogmas and denounces the excesses of contemporary capitalism. His art, resolutely subversive, proclaims absolute freedom of expression in the face of a surveillance society. He is currently waging a fierce battle against the growing hegemony of artificial intelligence in the art world.
Beyond his solo achievements, SONA is an active member of the avant-garde collective NBZ (Notre Belle Zone), a reservoir of artists elevating street art to the status of a true societal mirror.
Represented by prestigious galleries in France and Belgium, his work has captivated and won over collectors around the world.

This sculptural creation demonstrates a perfect mastery of mixed-media techniques.
