Arnold August Nobis, a contemporary Austrian artist, has demonstrated a lifelong passion for graphics and painting. After graduating from the Pamplona Art School as an applied sculptor, he established a spacious studio within an old factory hall in Bilbao, where he developed his unique techniques from the ground up. Nobis’ use of sand, dust, coffee powder, and bitumen are among the first characteristics of his work.

Nobis’ predominantly abstract paintings are situated in the field of tension between the body, architecture, representational motifs, and abstract shapes. By superimposing pictorial surfaces, the artist creates a sense of depth that expands the space. The web-like structures of his work interweave with shapes, resulting in a sense of complexity, connection, and familiarity.
