In recent days, the beautiful city of Valencia has faced an unprecedented catastrophe as severe floods ravaged the area. In response to this devastation, a remarkable initiative called Auction for Action has emerged, harnessing the power of art to aid the community’s recovery. Spearheaded by the talented artist Felipe Pantone and his dedicated team, this auction is more than just an art event; it’s a lifeline for the affected residents of Valencia.

A Gathering of Global Talent
Auction for Action is showcasing an impressive collection of artworks generously donated by renowned international artists, including Ana Barriga, Okuda, Demsky, Jaime Hayon, PichiAvo, and Sopopomo, among others. The auction will feature a diverse range of pieces priced from €300 to tens of thousands, providing art enthusiasts and collectors the opportunity to acquire unique works that are rarely accessible to the public. And this is just the beginning; new contributions from artists around the globe will be continuously added, ensuring a vibrant and diverse auction catalog.

The enthusiasm surrounding this initiative is palpable, with a robust community rallying on Instagram to spread the word and offer additional donations. The outpouring of support is a testament to the power of art to connect people and galvanise efforts for a common cause.
Personal Resonance
The origins of Auction for Action are profoundly personal for Felipe Pantone, whose studio suffered significant damage in the recent floods. However, in a commendable show of selflessness, he has chosen to redirect the funds raised through this initiative not toward his own recovery, but to trusted local charities dedicated to community support. Notably, a portion of the funds will be directed to the Coloring the World Foundation, which is committed to ensuring that aid reaches the most affected areas. Another Valencia-based foundation is also being engaged in these efforts, both known for their integrity and dedication to local recovery efforts.
In Felipe Pantone’s own words:
“Though my studio and artwork have been impacted by the DANA storm, I don’t consider myself a victim. This initiative is about lifting up the people of Valencia.”
