Rocco &#8211; son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie &#8211; recently donated one of his paintings to an exhibition held in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera, aimed at raising awareness and much-needed funds for coral reefs around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The two-week exhibition &#8211; <strong>Thirty Six for Coral<\/strong> &#8211; included stunning pieces from 36 world-renowned artists.

It could be yours! Bids start at 15,000 euros. Photo: Thirty Six for Coral<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At only 24, Rocco has already established himself in the art world as a talent with which to be reckoned. He studied at Central Saint Martins, the Royal Drawing School in London, and the New York Art League (according to <a href=\"https:\/\/whitewall.art\/art\/rocco-ritchie-finds-the-ultimate-freedom-in-painting-with-the-tourist\/\">Whitewall<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In December Rocco made headlines with an exhibition in Paris, The Tourist. (He speaks French with an amazing accent thanks to being schooled at London&#8217;s <em>Lycee Francais<\/em>). The exhibit featured paintings Rocco created, based on paparazzi photos that had haunted him as a teenager.<\/p>\n<p>For Thirty Six for Coral, Rocco&#8217;s painting is this time &#8220;a study of Giuseppe Sanmartino\u2019s original work. It forms part of a series exploring the intersection of painting and sculpture, aiming to bring a more three-dimensional, sculptural feel to the painted surface.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The landmark Thirty Six for Coral exhibition and auction is part of an initiative by ocean charity <strong>Project Zero<\/strong>, called The Coral Collective.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative came about following a request from the United Nations-backed Global Fund for Coral Reefs, and is supported by <strong>Princess Eugenie<\/strong>\u00a0who was at the exhibition opening. Other high-profile global ambassadors include Sienna Miller, Slash (from Guns &#8216;n Roses), Will Poulter, Cara Delevingne, Georgia Fowler, Rita Ora and many more.<\/p>\n<p>The organisers describe the art works as blending &#8220;artistic brilliance with urgent environmental storytelling&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2>Other artworks in the auction to save coral reefs<\/h2>\n<p>The artworks on auction include a pioneering carbon sink sculpture medium titled <strong>Heart of Okeanos by British-Italian artist Petroc Sesti<\/strong>, inspired by coral\u2019s natural ability to capture and store carbon. By combining eco-friendly concrete with carbon capture crystals, Sesti has created a pioneering material that <strong>permanently locks away CO2 in solid form &#8211; a first for the art world.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Also featured is <strong>Medusa\u2019s Blood by Henrietta Armstrong<\/strong>, a striking large-scale work inspired by ancient Mediterranean coral charms and the myth of Medusa. Glowing in vivid reds and pinks, the piece serves as both a protective talisman and a tribute to the fragile beauty of coral reefs &#8211; at once shrine, symbol, and lament for an ecosystem under threat.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9318\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9318\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"627351\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #627351;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9318 size-full not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/La-Peche-aux-Perles-Large-Medium.jpeg\" alt=\"La Peche aux Perles Large Medium\" width=\"640\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/La-Peche-aux-Perles-Large-Medium.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/La-Peche-aux-Perles-Large-Medium-300x272.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/La-Peche-aux-Perles-Large-Medium-463x420.jpeg 463w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/La-Peche-aux-Perles-Large-Medium-150x136.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><b>TOUILS &#8211; <\/b><i>La P\u00eache Aux Perles<\/i>.
