Tristan Tondino was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 1961.[2] He is the son of painter Gentile Tondino is married to Joséane Brunelle, and is the cousin of Richard Monette. Tondino has also worked as a charge scenic artist, art director and screenwriter.[3]
Artist[edit]
Tondino, has used the term irrealism to describe his work as a visual artist.[4]
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." [4]
“(Reality) must be created, opening one's own universe (...) to other realities, enlarging the concept of human rights (...)."[5]

He co-created the children series "Soso & Frieda" with Joséane Brunelle.[citation needed]
