Signs
Biblische Symbole in Gold verdichten zentrale Themen des christlichen Denkens zu stillen, kraftvollen Bildern.
In den Arbeiten aus dem Atelier Wonnereich werden Zeichen wie Kreuz, Licht, Weg oder Verheißung aus ihrem erzählerischen Kontext gelöst und in eine reduzierte, zeitgenössische Bildsprache überführt. Gold fungiert dabei nicht als Dekoration, sondern als Träger von Bedeutung – als Licht, als Gedanke, als konzentrierter Ausdruck dessen, was sich nicht immer einfach erklären lässt.
Alle Motive sind auch auf handgefertigten Eisenplatten erhältlich.

The Biblical Symbols in Gold series is dedicated to signs that have shaped Christian thought for centuries: faith, hope and love; the cross as a symbol of transformation; places such as Bethlehem as ciphers of origin and promise.
In the contemporary works from Atelier Wonnereich, these motifs do not appear as illustrations, but as concentrated visual signs. Lines, surfaces and genuine gold leaf create spaces for interpretation – open, calm and deliberately unobtrusive. The images invite personal reflection and allow meaning to emerge without prescribing it.
The genuine 23 kt gold leaf used reflects the light of the room and changes with time of day and perspective. It lends the works a subtle depth and a quiet presence that unfolds in everyday life – not as a religious statement, but as an atmospheric sign of continuity, contemplation and inner openness.
All works are hand-painted on high-quality handmade paper and are unique pieces or part of strictly limited series. The gold leaf used is hand-beaten in Vienna from 23-karat double-ducat gold produced by the Austrian Mint—a traditional material consciously placed in a contemporary context.
In modern living and working spaces, these works act as quiet statements: they sensitize the eye to beauty, open spaces for conversation, and reveal a side of personality that seeks depth – without pathos, without explanation.
