Aldo Mondino (B. Turin 1938 - 2005) was an italian sculptor and painter. Mondino was an artist characterized by an ironic approach to art.

​

In 1959 he moved to Paris where he attended the studio of William Heyter, the ‘Ecole du Louvre’, and the mosaic course at the Academy of Fine Arts with Severini and Licata.

Figures are the focal point of Aldo Mondino’s art. They are central to his art language be- cause they bear the intention and desire for the power of the imagination. Figures are the bearers of seduction and bedazzlement. He used a range of unconventional materials in his works, including caramel and chocolate, and pioneered the art of painting on linoleum.
