Onoko is the artist duo Manon Duparc and François Pain. Born in France, they met during their studies in Geneva – she studied interior architecture and design, while he studied architecture. Sharing the same sensibility on every level, they began dreaming of a joint artistic practice, which since 2017 has been devoted entirely to photography.
Manon and François press the shutter when a mood touches their soul. Already at the moment the photograph is taken, figuration dissolves, leaving behind only the relationship between color and light. Their works border on abstract impressionism. Reduced to complex color gradients, the deliberately unedited images reveal a profound sensitivity to atmosphere and composition and advocate for an imaginary world in which each image invites the viewer to expand perception.
