Artwork story

The work, from the studio.

Kobe (2020)

By Yost
Spray Paint & Acrylic on Wood | 20 x 30 inches

A tribute to greatness, Kobe captures the spirit of a legend whose legacy continues to inspire the world. Painted in 2020, this powerful portrait by Yost showcases the Mamba in his iconic Lakers jersey—embodying the fierce determination, focus, and heart that defined his career. The intensity in his gaze, the strength in his stance, and the unmistakable purple and gold radiate triumph and purpose.

Executed with a raw and expressive blend of spray paint and acrylic on wood, this piece channels energy and reverence—more than a portrait, it’s a symbol of the Mamba Mentality.

Now available as a limited edition fine art print, sized at 20 x 30 inches, in two exclusive editions.

Kobe is for those who see greatness not just in talent, but in work ethic, resilience, and legacy. A lasting homage to a true icon.
