Behind the philosophy

Environment shapes.

The person

The person behind the philosophy.

Atelier Dino was founded by Dino, a self-taught multidisciplinary artist and creative director working across sport, public art, community and institutional space.

An unconventional journey, built through radically different environments : the court, the community, the wall, the institution.

Every philosophy comes from lived experience.
