Can you imagine that one single person can change the world?
YVESKE, says yes!
In the grand tapestry of human history, it’s always individuals who stand out as luminous beacons of conviction, dedication and creativity. They are the architects of progress. The dreamers, the people who turn their visions and efforts into reality and the entrepeneurs who shape our world... Their personal stories are a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity, where passion and purpose converge to change the course of history. These (great) minds are not bound by the limitations of convention or deterred by the naysayers.
GREAT BOOK OF GREATNESS is an unconditional contribution to courage, vision, leadership, creativity – and life. They won and they lost. Every experience was a lesson. A mirror. They never gave up.
Through the eyes of YVESKE, 200 great stories were created. Persistent characters behind. Hated and loved. Admired and criticized. Great stories to tell in art. They never follow the crowd. Fearless and convinced of their mission. No flat lines.
Often misunderstood. They possess an unwavering conviction in their ideas, a belief that propels them forward, even when the path is fraught with uncertainty and obstacles. It is this steadfast faith in themselves and their mission that sets them apart. Conviction is the cornerstone upon which greatness is built. Dedication is the fuel that sustains their journey. These individuals do not merely flirt with their dreams; they commit their lives to them. They want to maximize human potential. They toil tirelessly, often sacrificing comfort, sleep and even personal relationships in the relentless pursuit of their goals. These visionaries possess an innate ability to see beyond the status quo, to envisage possibilities where others see only limitations. They are the artists of innovation and dedication. Creativity is their secret weapon. They are the force that disrupts total systems and industries, the source of their enduring impact on the world. The truth about greatness is that it isn’t defined by fame or fortune, but by the indelible mark one leaves on the world through passion and perseverance.
GREAT BOOK OF GREATNESS is curated with doubts and agony over every person and piece. Some of them confuse. They certainly trigger. Greatness is not always about perfection. It even can be ugly, confusing, disrupting and brutal. YVESKE tried to walk in the soul of every story. A doubting, suffering and exciting trip. It is not an opinion. It is every work that tells a story. Their story. The circle of 200 …….. Strength, astonishment and inspiration.
Peace, happiness, ambition and compassion are what fuel us. The best path to peace begins with understanding and compassion among all. It’s a harmonious balance born from historical information, empathy, dialogue, tolerance and cooperation. The publication of GREAT OF BOOK GREATNESS is a dream. A reflection of what Yves has seen, learned and experienced in 30 years of turbulent entrepeneurship in the world. It is a modest effort – a tribute to greatness and disruptive thinkers. Although every chosen person is a subjective choice, it refers to Yves feelings and perspectives which were influenced by his own individual experiences. YVESKE COLLECTIVE is fully aware of the fact that every piece of art is open to interpretation and differing viewpoints. The sources of Yves imagination are his knowledge, emotions and his eyes. You can be overwhelmed... And shocked.
