Japanese born artist Taiyo Tono graduated form the Arts Academy in Tokyo, Japan.
Taiyo Tono was born in 1977 in the midst of an artistic transition. Many of the traditional Japanese art styles began to shift into more contemporary works in the late 1900’s. Tono emphasises the modern and abstract in her artworks by infusing a combination of bright colours, various painting techniques, and numerous mediums. Tono immerses herself not only with her brushstrokes but also with her heart, mind, and spirit, evident in the passion that is displayed in her artworks.
