Art of the Curious. Crafted by Mondo.

Sculptures, paintings, masks, machines—each piece is a portal. Step into a world where imagination runs the show, and nothing is quite what it seems.

The Man Behind the Madness

Dale Capellanio, known in the art world as Mondo, is a multidisciplinary creator with a passion for the whimsical, the eerie, and the masterfully made. With roots in fine arts and special effects, his work blends steampunk mechanics, circus surrealism, and a deep love for craftsmanship. Whether he’s forging a set of theatrical goggles, building a puppet that breathes life, or sculpting a creature no one’s seen before, Mondo’s art isn’t just decoration
it’s a conversation starter.
