Lives and works in Rome

Born in Rome, born in 1979, Mister Thoms began to paint Graffiti in 1996 and is currently one of the best known Italian street artists.
Its very name evokes an onomatopoeic sound that suggests the elasticity of its art: Mr.Thoms, the real name of Diego della Posta, is actually a multifaceted artist who expresses himself not only through Street Art, but also through painting, llustration and graphic design, in a constant search for balance between the ironic mood and the expressive concept.
Mr.Thoms plays with bright colors and geometric shapes to create movement. The walls where he works have a direct influence on his subject. His great understanding of architecture and body language allow him to capture the essence of his characters.
This is what defines Mr.Thoms skills, his ability to represent movement on the walls, but at the same time express a concept, sending a message on which to reflect in an ironic way.
Active in the street art scene, he participates in urban art events and festivals all over the world, Italy, England,New York Denmark, Hong Kong .Germany, Russia, California, Mexico, Portugal and Spain,spreading his ironic and cutting style.His talent is to transform ordinary places into extraordinary places.
