To capture the complexity of Earth’s geology, the flow of water and wind currents, the NONOS developed a new technique. Using carbon, fiberglass, and lightfast pigments, the Welte sisters succeed in depicting flowing geological formations.
Sculptural forms – representation of the elements
In their daily engagement with the form and color of a wall object, Franziska and Mercedes Welte aim to materialize each moment in its uniqueness through sculptural forms.
Inspired by the figurative and non-representational nature of abstraction, the NONOS create works that allow them to interact with the world in their own language.
The NONOS wall objects come to life differently depending on the environment. In their work, the Welte sisters carefully consider each setting to ensure their projects are harmoniously integrated. The sculptural objects, handcrafted from carbon, are available in various sizes.
Inspiration from Nature
The objects often depict the unique aspects of nature, reflecting the diverse facets of the environment from which Franziska and Mercedes Welte originate. The alpine landscapes of Vorarlberg and the Dolomites in South Tyrol serve as a source of inspiration for the artists.
