In the early 90s, Kobe began developing his unique visual universe, featuring various figures, particularly female and equine. His female sculptures possess taut lines that maintain their ultimate shape, while their ‘skin’ contains inner forces. Kobe’s female figures lack the overtly flirtatious femininity found in media, but instead evoke a mysterious and pure quality.

Kobe is also drawn to horses, not just for their physical attributes but also the myths they embody. Throughout history, horses have played significant roles in human endeavors, including work, sports, and entertainment.
