Behind The Artworks: laCasta - Olibanvm (2026)

The cover of “OLIBANVM” fits perfectly within this conceptual framework, serving as a visual representation of the sacrifice necessary for transcendence. The iconography evokes an archaic and ritualistic aesthetic: elements such as blades, resins, wounds, and smoke suggest a sacrificial act suspended in time. The smoke of the incense — a central element — becomes a visual and conceptual metaphor: spiritual ascent, but also dissolution. The burning matter consumes itself to generate something ethereal. In this sense, the cover is not just illustrative but functional; it represents the very process staged by the album — combustion, transformation and passage.
