52 | Olobor | Joseph Cobiac | $10000 | Acrylic Painting on Canvas

Beauty is not always delicate. Sometimes it is powerful, weathered and wild. Olobor, known as ‘the calm one’, embodied that contradiction: immense strength in a vulnerable life. This portrait honours his memory and asks us to cherish the irreplaceable beauty of something wild and sovereign, made precious by his absence. All proceeds go to charity.
