In “Peace Fingers Geometric,” the artist reinterprets the iconic peace sign through a geometric composition with strong visual impact. The image combines the ornamental silhouette of the hand—decorated with floral motifs and arabesques—with a structure of overlapping triangular planes that fragment the space and lend dynamism to the composition. The balance between recognizable iconography and geometric abstraction is characteristic of OBEY’s visual language, where the symbolic message is integrated with an aesthetic rooted in poster art, design, and contemporary urban art.

Frank Shepard Fairey, OBEY, is an American urban artist and graphic designer, renowned, among other projects, for the iconic “Hope” poster used by Barack Obama during his presidential campaign. He began his career in street art in the late 1980s and gained international recognition for his graphic style inspired by political propaganda, constructivism, and pop culture. His work addresses themes such as power, peace, social justice, and freedom of expression, and has been showcased both in public spaces and in print publications and exhibitions at museums and galleries around the world.
