My Dog Sighs (Paul Ston) is an internationally acclaimed street artist and a key figure in the contemporary urban art movement. For over 20 years, Paul has honed his craft in his hometown of Portsmouth and across the globe, initially captivating audiences with his now-infamous Free Art Friday project, where he gave away his art for free. His style masterfully combines melancholic, photorealistic, and often naive portraiture with the innovative use of found materials, including abandoned food cans.

With commissioned murals spanning five continents and groundbreaking immersive installations, My Dog Sighs continues to push the boundaries of urban contemporary art. His work resonates deeply with audiences, creating a poignant narrative of loss and rediscovery, mirrored in the transformation of discarded materials like tin cans—once vessels of sustenance, now reclaimed as canvases for his evocative creations.

With a strong and ever-growing international fanbase in countries such as Israel, Japan, the UK, as well as social media, he has a reputation for counterpointing the raw with the sublime. Paul’s work has become a symbol of connection and resilience in a materialistic world, solidifying his place as a major figure on the contemporary art scene.
