• Wiwen Nilsson’s philosophy and practice redefined conventions, leaving an indelible mark on multiple artistic disciplines.

  • “The only artistic effect I strive for is to vitalise the rhythmic relationships in the proportion.”
    Wiwen Nilsson
  • Wiwen Nilsson’s design ethos is inspired by Medieval philosophy and early Romanesque and Byzantine architecture and art forms, with a cubist influence. He strived for timeless forms; using balance, tension, and dynamism to create a strong and vibrant rhythm in the body of his pieces. He emphasised the importance of dimensions (length, width, and depth) in all his works, alongside the fourth dimension which he considered to be time. Wiwen Nilsson saw time as the culmination of the relationship between the other three dimensions. He said “the static does not exist, it is a fiction.”
