Nando Kallweit: Sculpting Timeless Narratives in Bronze and Oak
Nando Kallweit’s journey into the world of sculpture began with a visit to Berlin during his youth, where he was captivated by the bust of Nefertiti at the Egyptian Museum. This encounter left an indelible mark on him, inspiring a deep fascination with the artistry of ancient Egypt. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Kallweit seized the opportunity to travel to Egypt, immersing himself in the rich tapestry of inspirations that would later manifest in his artworks.
The Artists Process:
At the heart of Kallweit’s artistic process lies the “lost wax process.” This intricate method involves creating a mold in which bronze is cast, allowing the artist to craft complex, intertwined, and highly detailed sculptures. Kallweit’s skill in this technique is evident in both his smaller, intimate pieces and his larger installations, which command attention in expansive spaces.
Nando Kallweit draws inspiration from seemingly disparate cultures, incorporating elements from ancient Egyptian sculptures, the dynamic forms of the modern cubist movement, and keen observations of contemporary life. His works reflect the strength of ancient art, the avant-garde spirit of modernism, and a nuanced understanding of the present. Through a thoughtful and attentive approach, Kallweit transforms archaic materials such as bronze and blackened oak into visually striking and emotionally resonant pieces.
Kallweit’s artistic prowess has been recognized on an international scale, with exhibitions spanning across Europe and the United States. His sculptures have found homes in numerous collections, a testament to the enduring appeal of his work. Displayed in our gallery Kunstwarenhaus, Kallweit’s creations invite viewers to contemplate the intersections of time, culture, and artistic expression.
