SQUARES ART objects – data and art form a fascinating symbiosis …

SQUARES ART objects consist of colourful, systematically arranged squares that effectively illuminate rooms.

With their maximalist elements, the objects capture meaningful moments in a unique way, and any combination of dates merges artfully into a harmonious whole – each work becomes a new composition and tells its own story.

The respective data and date combinations are visualised by positioning the squares in relation to each other – based on the principle of an analogue clock. This visualisation concept is unique worldwide and makes the objects special gifts for birthdays, weddings and numerous other occasions. The range of variations is almost limitless, because even with small SQUARES ART objects, it is possible to visualise numbers between 0 and a trillion.

The following example shows how the idea for the first work in my series THE COLOURS OF TOGETHERNESS came about in support of humanitarian projects: On 11 December 1946, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) was founded to help children and give them the chance of a better life. Together with the many people who have given their time, donations and hearts over many years, UNICEF has been able to help countless girls and boys in all parts of the world and give them a chance to grow up in a good, protected environment – made possible by a strong community.

This impressive power of togetherness inspired me to artistically merge the historic date of 11 December 1946 (founding of the United Nations Children’s Fund) with the equally special date of 26 October 1965 (the day UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize) in an unprecedented way.

Inspiration becomes reality, and on 26 October 2025, exactly 60 years after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded, the first SQUARES ART object from the title series THE COLOURS OF TOGETHERNESS will be released. This object focuses on the two significant dates of 11 December 1946 and 26 October 1965, and the work is intended to benefit the children’s charity Unicef in many ways and for an unlimited period of time.

The image below shows the SQUARES ART object in the form of a high-quality FINE ART PRINT. The colour-intensive, very high-resolution prints in 14 x 14 cm format can be individually framed, preferably in a compact 3D picture frame with a large frame depth, so that this object can not only be hung up but also effectively displayed.

The middle image shows a SQUARES ART object measuring 180 x 180 cm, which was awarded the INTERNATIONAL PRIZE ARTISTS ON THE FRENCH RIVIERA in Nice in 2025.

GOLDEN DATE SCULPTURES …

GOLDEN DATE - Sculpture in the format 33.5 x 4 x 4 cm - © Bruno Wilbert

The GOLDEN DATE sculptures are unusual and very personal gifts with social and ecological benefits. A specific date, such as the date of birth of a particularly close or favourite person, is stored in each of the tree trunk-like sculptures in an abstract and artistic way.

The GOLDEN DATE sculptures made of oak wood have a beautiful reference to nature, because the ‘year of birth’ is also stored in the tree trunks and, given the possible age of a tree of well over 9,000 years, it is easy to recognise how valuable our lifetime is.

The GOLDEN DATE sculptures with the saved wedding date are also a special gift for weddings.

The monogrammed sculptures are available with a certificate of authenticity in limited editions, securely packaged in attractive packaging.

The sculpture was honoured with the INTERNATIONAL PRIZE LEONARDO DA VINCI 2025 in Milan.

GOLDEN DATE sculptures promote ecological and social projects.

MAXIMINIMALISMUS IN BEST FORM …

The typical finely-structured, multi-layered surface of canvas and gesso, the very special painting techniques, as well as the strongly reduced picture composition with the contrast-rich rear object area, create a special interaction and give the object a high radiance and depth effect.

… a stylish work elaborately produced with more than 40 steps, which attracts special attention as a free-standing object or wall installation.

MONO stand objects …

The MAXIMINIMALISMUS series also includes compact MONO stand objects, which I designed especially for the realisation of larger actions.

I gave these objects the abstract subtitle “GOLDEN SIGNALS OF NATURE” because I am absolutely fascinated by the idea that trees can communicate with each other by means of signals via a network of fungi and roots under the surface of the earth. This beautiful idea comes from the forester and best-selling author, Peter Wohlleben. In his book “The Hidden Life of Trees“, he also describes how in an old forest, sick trees are supported by neighbouring trees and how they share nutrients with each other – a social community of trees from which many people could still learn a thing or two.

SPECIAL EDITION …

A special edition of the MONO stand object is the focus of the NATURE, SOCIAL & MORE campaign. The action benefits selected nature and social projects.

I am also providing a large number of these objects with the name MADEIRAGREENS for the realisation of the actions.

The unique pieces, which have been affectionately called “THE LITTLE EVERGREENS OF MADEIRA” by a tourist, have motif areas of 784 mm² – these motif areas were also elaborately structured and designed in more than 40 working steps.

TOGETHERNESS …

The compact sculpture TOGETHERNESS with its minimalist design is also an object from the MAXIMINIMALISMUS series.

The hand-sanded and oiled sculptures with embossed monograms are made of high-quality eucalyptus wood and symbolise the strength, opportunities and ever-increasing importance of togetherness.

I also make many of the sculptures available for campaigns in favour of nature and social projects.

International award …

International Prize Leonardo da Vinci 2024o da Vinci 2024

International Prize Leonardo da Vinci 2024 - SPECIAL EDITION GOLD - © Bruno Wilbert

It was a special honour and pleasure for me that the sculpture TOGETHERNESS was presented in the official catalogue of the International Prize Leonardo da Vinci 2024 event and that I was awarded the International Prize Leonardo da Vinci 2024 – SPECIAL EDITION GOLD.

This prize is one of the most prestigious art prizes awarded in the heart of Milan to international artists selected by the famous Italian art curator and critic Dr. Salvatore Russo and the art expert Dr. Francesco Saverio Russo as some of the best international contemporary artists.

Made in Madeira …

All of the works from the MAXIMINIMALISMUS series are made on the alluring island of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean.

My small studio is located in an idyllic mountain village in Madeira Natural Park, a large conservation area containing unique flora and fauna.

Living and working every day in this wonderful nature reserve is something special for me …the impressive nature on this island became my source of inspiration for the

ART 4 … OUR NATURE project.

Packaging and actions …

The monogrammed objects, together with a certificate, are available in attractive packaging

… certainly also very nice presents!

Through a special action, visitors to my small studio also have the opportunity to support nature and social projects with a fair donation and to receive one of my objects as a gift from me as a thank you for their support.

ART 4 … OUR NATURE
… together we are stronger

Large-format design …

I also designed the TOGETHERNESS sculpture presented at the International Prize Leonardo da Vinci 2024 for outdoor use – with an object height of 2.54 metres, it is a strong symbol for more togetherness instead of senseless against each other, which is not only infinitely harmful to people, but also to the earth.

The TOGETHERNESS sculpture can be made in a customised size in different materials, for example with a solid concrete core and a thin outer skin made of Corten steel.

SOCIAL COMPETENCE …

The large-format and highly structured object entitled SOCIAL COMPETENCE symbolises the social communities of trees, as an impressive part of everything that exists or develops in organic and inorganic phenomena without human intervention.

The object measures 180 x 180 x 8 cm – the elaborate modelling of the structure is done with the help of a strong special paper and gesso on a special wooden construction. The acrylic object, which weighs over 20 kg, is privately owned.

My fascination for nature is the basis of my work and actions and my artistic works on social themes also arise from this perspective.

Contemporary art …

An excellent presentation of my large-format acrylic object SOCIAL COMPETENCE took place in mid-2024 in the remarkable art book “THE BEST CONTEMPORARY MASTERS 2024“, an impressive summary of contemporary artists and new avant-gardists from all over the world, as authentic contemporary witnesses of our century – an absolutely successful art book that includes figurative, abstract, informal and conceptual painters, sculptors, photographers and video artists from many countries and offers art collectors, curators, dealers, gallery owners and museum directors worldwide interesting information and valuable impulses.

INTERNATIONAL PRIZE THE NEW GREAT MASTERS IN NEW YORK …

The presentations of the object SOCIAL COMPETENCE at ARTEXPO NEW YORK 2025 in video format and in the art magazine ‘MASTER ARTISTS TO COLLECT VOL II, 2025’ at the INTERNATIONAL PRIZE THE NEW GREAT MASTERS IN NEW YORK event were also a special honour for me – this is one of the most prestigious art prizes awarded in the heart of New York.

I would like to thank the organisers for their commitment and for honouring the object as part of the INTERNATIONAL PRIZE THE NEW GREAT MASTERS IN NEW YORK.
