From 1969 to 1973 he attended The Art School of Kassel in Germany, where he studied painting, design, graphics and ceramics. He has since been regularly participating in German and international exhibitions. A milestone in his personal and artistic development has been his study of consciousness. This experience of the spiritual dimension of life has influenced his work deeply, bestowing upon his work a rare individuality and radiance. Kuno Vollet studied at Kunsthochschule Kassel, where he was a student of prominent crystal glaze master, Professor Werner Gnegel. A lot of what Kuno learnt with Gnegel now transpires throughout his practice, in particular in his Creatio series where the process of crystal glazing creates delicate forms crystal-like forms in the inner section of the disk. Circles are a recurring theme in Kuno's work. They refer to ancient Greek and Indian philosophy where the circle refers to life - the Circle of Life. By extrapolation, Kuno's work also refers to atomic physics where the electron dance around the nucleus and to the cell that is at the centre of organic life. This scientific aspect to the philosophical reference to circularity in Kuno's work transpires in the fabrication process of crystal glazing. Similar to Wolf Kahn this is from his realist works in oil painting and pastels. He is currently known for his sculpture, all about balance, weightlessness and infinity. He uses a variety of techniques and materials in his sculptures including bronze and iron in limited editions.
