Tones

Tones had a very strong taste for drawing from childhood. Initially attracted rather by the graphic illustrative style largely inspired by comics, he did not discover graffiti and the aesthetics of letters until the early 2000s, following a decisive meeting with graffiti artist Rey. He therefore became involved in this new form of expression, directly inspired by the traditional New York style, and gradually asserted himself as a writer (graffiti artist). 

Funky letter technician and disciple of "Style", his specificity is to make his letters dance through complex connections, while respecting the codes of the New York school. Another peculiarity of his work is to decorate his lettering with illustrative elements by subtly mixing realism and graphic style. This fine combination is an invitation to enter a universe sometimes offbeat, but colorful.
His influences come mainly from members of his crew - the EDK - as well as New York graffiti legends such as Skeme, West, Doze and many others. 

His style has evolved over time and according to meetings with certain representatives of the community during several trips abroad and various participations in graffiti festivals: first in Europe, in Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Belgrade, Cadiz, Grenada - then in North America - New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seattle - and finally in Asia - Delhi, Mumbai, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Macao among other cities. His approach to graffiti leads him to express himself mainly in the street, thus remaining faithful to the underground spirit of this art form. However, he has had the opportunity to participate in several gallery exhibitions in recent years.
