I’m Montaone, a German artist based in Frankfurt am Main.

Growing up internationally, I was inspired by beautiful sceneries and experienced many
different cultures that helped me develop a creative mind early on in my childhood.
As long as I can remember, pen and paper were always by my side.
Inspired by colorful and often provocative street art,
I started to get into graffiti art in my early youth.

During my long career as an artist, I learned how to combine colors,
shapes and work with different materials to achieve various outcomes.
Armed with brush, paint roller and spray cans, I have created
numerous paintings showcasing my work and inspiration.

In my work I play with lines and shapes of facial expressions,
combining both repeating elements and contours of facial features on different planes
and fuse them together to create one moving three-dimensional image.

Every face tells a different story!
The story and Zeitgeist behind the faces is what keeps me engaged and drives my passion for art.

While having achieved many goals in my career as an artist,
I am still looking for new challenges and ways to improve and evolve my skills.
