Franziska and Mercedes, create an unmistakable style with NONOS.

Their female sculptures are as unique as they are extravagant, combining absolute joie de vivre with aesthetic eroticism, dynamic dance and pure sensuality. The result is a filigree yet powerful ensemble of colour, form and movement. The name NONOS was a well-kept secret from the beginning and has remained a mystery to this day. The interplay of movement and colour makes the figures appear alive and animated, so that each sculpture bears its own signature.

Besides their female sculptures, the sisters also work very actively on abstract wall objects and paintings. Their artistic repertoire is very diverse.

The artists specialise in modern and lightweight materials such as carbon and fibreglass, as well as bronze.

2022, the sisters will be represented at the Venice Biennale in the Giardini Marinaressa with a large bronze sculpture.

Argentine born sculptor, Vivianne Duchini has created more than 400 pieces that were exhibited in more than 40 collective and 10 solo exhibitions. She maintains the legacy of the great classic traditions going from Greece to the Renaissance, in the execution of the lost wax bronze casting and chiselling technique, giving her pieces various patinas, sometimes darker, sometimes lighter.

Since 1994 the energy of her sculptures has led her to create monumental pieces that can be seen today in different public spaces and in private collections.

Vivianne Duchini arrived in April 2015 at the Museum of Decorative Arts in order to exhibit her monumental "Pegasus", which marked a milestone in her career.

She continued experimenting with this technique until she reached a more impressionistic finish in her pieces. In May 2017 in New York she presented her new creation at the exhibition “Equus Vitae” and, a year later, she challenged herself with a new animal, a feline, the Puma (mountain cat) where she achieves that completion.

In 2019, she worked on a piece for Óbuda-Békásmegyer, District III of Budapest. This was the result of an international competition organized by the Mayor of Óbuda together with the Argentine Embassy. The pieces submitted were evaluated by a professional jury that chose the equestrian sculpture proposed by Vivianne Duchini.

Neighborhood: Castello
Castello is the largest of the six sestieri (districts), and the only one not facing onto the Grand Canal. More than half of Castello is situated within Arsenale, the naval base, which occupies over one-fifth the area of Venice. This gentrified maritime neighborhood feels busy but casual. Castello’s side streets are laid back, with small boats lining canals criss-crossed by laundry. Semiannual exhibitions add a strong artsy current to the Arsenale area. Via Garibaldi in Castello, with its shops and bars, has one of Venice's rare straight and wide boulevards. When a large ship turns around the Lido to enter the Giudecca Canal, the startling sight creates an illusion that it will run aground right on Via Garibaldi! Families treasure Giardini near the island's tip, green with rare trees and grass, and Riva degli Schiavoni is a popular spot for Venetians to take a stroll to watch the sunset.
