In the heart of Berlin, a city defined by its raw creativity and restless energy, two unconventional individuals joined forces to reshape the cultural landscape. Ethan Vale, a curator turned cultural strategist, believed in the transformative power of beauty and influence. He saw the world through a Platonic lens, where ideals and perfection reigned, and art was a tool to elevate society. Amara Cole, his partner in the venture, was a sharp eyed pragmatist who believed in grounding art in truth. A devotee of Stoicism, Amara valued complexity, resilience, and the untold stories woven into each piece of work. For her, art wasn’t about pleasing the masses; it was about reflection, meaning, and unvarnished honesty. Together, they founded LOCUS, an avant-garde gallery that initially promised to celebrate both visionaries and unsung talent.
