The COLORAT Duo: Weaving Stories Through Textile Art
The COLORAT Duo creates vibrant, textile-based works that transform spaces and engage communities. Georgeta Fondos and Onorina Jomir, a mother-daughter collaboration, bring together their unique artistic practices to form a compelling visual language. Georgeta’s ethereal scorched fabric techniques intertwine with Onorina’s bold, colorful textile collages, creating a one-of-a-kind fusion that celebrates resourcefulness, beauty in scarcity, and the imperfect harmony of life itself.
Bring bold, immersive art into your everyday life
Georgeta Fondos and her daughter Onorina Jomir share a beautiful mother-daughter collaboration rooted deeply in tradition and creativity. Both learned their crafts from the strong, artistic women in their family: Georgeta was inspired by her own mother’s weaving and textile artistry, while Onorina grew up watching and learning from Georgeta’s passion for sewing, drawing, and painting. Their work is a heartfelt dialogue between generations, weaving stories of family and creativity into every piece.
A Creative Partnership Rooted in Legacy and Innovation
What makes The COLORAT Duo so special is the blend of experience and fresh perspective. Georgeta’s work is grounded in Moldovan textile traditions and reimagined through contemporary experimental techniques. Her mastery of scorched fabric, creating delicate textures and organic forms, brings an ethereal quality to each piece. Onorina, Georgeta’s daughter, brings bold color and innovative collage techniques, infusing each work with vibrancy, energy, and contemporary relevance. Through their work, the COLORAT Duo invites viewers to reflect and connect and experience art as a tactile and emotional journey.
Art that Inspires and Engages the Community
As artists, Georgeta and Onorina are deeply drawn to projects that foster connection, spark joy, and bring people together. Their work isn’t just about beautifying a space. It is about weaving love, memory, and meaning into the very fabric of an environment. Whether it’s a large-scale mural, a floating textile installation, or a wall piece that catches the light just right, their creations are meant to awaken curiosity, invite interaction, and leave a lasting emotional imprint.
Their collaborative works are composed from carefully selected fabrics—both found and repurposed—which are cut, collaged, and layered into abstract compositions that feel at once spontaneous and intentional. Color is their emotional language, guiding the rhythm and flow of each piece as they respond intuitively to one another’s gestures. The process is layered and organic, often beginning with a color palette or shared memory and unfolding into bold, joyful forms that invite personal interpretation, emotional resonance, and connection.
Themes of transformation and decay, beauty in scarcity, resourcefulness, and the harmony within chaos are ideas that speak to the resilience and richness of community life, especially in places where art becomes more than decoration. For the COLORAT Duo, art is a way to share stories and celebrate the spirit of togetherness in all its vibrant forms.
A Global Reach with a Personal Touch
Their work has been embraced by both public and private collections in the U.S. and around the world. Onorina’s vibrant, temporary asphalt art in Chattanooga and Georgeta’s textile pieces in the Girls' Club Collection, NSU, the Coral Springs Museum of Art, and various European collections are just a few examples of their art’s far-reaching impact. But what matters most to The COLORAT Duo is the ability to leave a lasting, positive impact wherever their art is displayed, whether in an intimate private collection or a bustling public space.

As they continue to expand their practice, Georgeta and Onorina are excited to collaborate with communities, architects, and designers to create textile-inspired works that elevate spaces and spark conversation. They are passionate about transforming the built environment with art that reflects the heart and soul of the people who inhabit it.
Looking Toward the Future
The COLORAT Duo is excited about the future of their artistic journey. They look forward to collaborating with new partners and contributing their vibrant, narrative-driven works to public and private spaces across the globe. Their mission is clear: to create art that inspires, connects, and transforms, one textile at a time.
