Solidarity Art Auction – 25 Years of Impact

Published: 14/10/2025

To celebrate 25 years of Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs (OVO), we are organizing a Solidarity Art Auction featuring 15 exceptional photographs captured in Africa by Florence Gautier.

 

These artworks were printed using a rare artisanal technique in Bali, where each image is hand-processed in paint baths — creating unique, limited-edition prints.

 

All proceeds from the auction will directly support African entrepreneurs developing sustainable and impactful businesses through OVO’s programs.

About the Photographer

Florence Gautier joined OVO on the field in Benin, capturing the energy, dignity, and creativity of local entrepreneurs. Her photographs reflect authentic encounters — moments of light, resilience, and shared humanity. She nurtures a taste for the elsewhere — a curiosity for humankind. Camera slung over her shoulder, eyes wide open, Florence Gautier seeks the beauty of a world that is not always kind.


Black and white, color — her images are open-hearted pages, stories of the magic of a meeting, of humanity revealed, inside and out. The journey of this self-taught photographer knows no end, no borders. India, Benin, Indonesia, South Africa, La Rochelle… She lays bare our shared humanity, inviting us to feel emotion in its purest form — here and everywhere.

 

Each of her works has been printed in limited edition, using a unique artisanal process that makes every piece one of a kind.
