ABOUT

iocoBenefits was founded in 2005 by International Bodypainter and Fine Artist Filippo ioco on the belief that art can be a powerful force for global good. Guided by humanitarian values—with no allegiance to any single country, religion, individual, or political stance—iocoBenefits chooses to stand with the innocent, especially children affected by war.

“As an artist, I feel it is my humanitarian duty to donate my works and volunteer my services to help bring awareness, education, and needed funds to global charitable organizations.”

Since its founding, Filippo has dedicated much of his creative energy to charity work worldwide, supporting causes such as breast cancer, children with HIV/AIDS, children with deformities, wounded troops and their families, children impacted by war, as well as initiatives that promote sustainability and address the growing challenges of climate change. He is renowned for bringing compassion, artistic vision, and a philanthropic spirit to every project.

With the support of the community, private partners, and media sponsors, iocoBenefits organizes and co-organizes art exhibitions, cocktail parties, runway shows, and galas. Funds are raised through silent auctions, raffles, and sales of Filippo’s original artworks and bodypainting photography prints. All proceeds go directly to the charities for which the events are held.

To expand his charitable reach, Filippo also launched an online shop, iocoBoutique, featuring his fine art and bodypainting works alongside the iocoBenefits charity shop.
