Artoni works in different styles and mediums, although his favorites are oil on canvas and pencil on paper. When he creates art, he allows the subject matter to determine its style of execution.

Artoni believes that being an artist results in a life journey of discovery and that the artworks created become milestones...enabling that artist to share with the world the ideas and visions he has discovered within his process of creation!

Artoni is a native of Wilmington, DE, now residing in Jersey City, NJ. He has studied art at the Delaware Art Museum School, Philadelphia Institute of Art, School of Visual Arts in New York, and Florida A & M University. His artwork reflects a life of inspiration from his African American heritage, his immersion in the world of music and a deep spiritual root system that all converge organically in color and form. The tropical brilliance of Gaugin, the electricity of Van Gogh, the lineage of Beardon are all evidenced as influences on the distinctive lyrical sense of Artoni’s artwork.

He has provided images and designs for many top companies in publishing, music, and fashion, including CBS, SONY, EPIC, CAPITOL, ELEKTRA, RCA/BMG, ISLAND, FLYTE TYME, GRP, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, Phat Farm, Ecko Unlimited Inc., and DKNY Jeans, among others.

As a teaching artist, Artoni has conducted design workshops in Central America for the Instituto Nacional de Cultura in Panamá City, Colon City, and David, Chiriqui in the Republic of Panamá. He has exhibited with Premiere Fine Arts Gallery of Lambertville, NJ and internationally in the private collections of Will Downing, Nancy Wilson and many others throughout the USA, Central America, the UK, Japan, and Africa.

Most recently, Artoni has created a new action-adventure cartoon character toy property, C2 & Posse: Inner-City Heroes™ (pronounced Cee-Squared), the first of its kind to portray Inner-City teenagers of different ethnicity as Heroes. This innovative graphic novel is now part of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture's permanent collection and is also available online direct from Artoniworld.com. Artoni is also available for commissioned art works; including portraits and illustrations in oils, pencils and other media.
