Art washes our soul from the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso

Based in the Paris region, Anto is a discreet contemporary artist, but full of talent and sincerity. Always passionate about pop culture, he loves the "Marvel" and "Star Wars" universes as well as all the iconic characters of the 80s and 90s. Since high school, he started to graffiti and then explored drawing on other atypical supports, in particular decorative objects or those of the everyday life. At the end of 2019, his artistic career really takes off and Anto finally finds the public he deserves and who appreciate his original, captivating and entertaining universe.

Through his original works, Anto manages to combine his passion for pop culture with classic art. He takes pleasure in giving a new life to the most mythical characters of the 80s and 90s who rocked his youth in movies, cartoons or TV series. Bringing art towards more playful supports, he does not hesitate to personalize and divert large Playmobil or representations of various sizes in the effigy of the greatest figures of pop culture. The artist works with acrylics, mainly with spray paint, but also with brushes and markers. He admires the street artists Banksy and Fabrice Prenat as well as the universe of Julien Durix. With his colorful creations and very marked in cultural references, Anto reflects our past and transforms our childhood memories into real art objects.
