Tondino, who considers his work as an artist to be a form of irrealism, has had a number of exhibitions in an attempt to promote his views on irrealism. One of Tondino"s canvasses, consisting entirely of text, questions why entire societies ignore certain realities: "On any given day, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, approximately 35,600 children die of starvation.
This tragedy does not make the six o’clock news.
Approximately 13 million children die of starvation every year, never making it to OUR reality." () "When we are told to deal with reality, we are essentially being told to accept an ideology." “(Reality) must be created, opening one’s own universe () to other realities, enlarging the concept of human rights ()." Tondino is listed in "s in Canada, a Union list of s’ Files" at the National Gallery of Canada Library, Canadian Heritage. Tondino has had over 50 exhibitions nationally and internationally.
