Felicia Liendo (Barinas, Venezuela, 1998) was born at the foot of the Andes, where the earth whispers and the light caresses the landscape. Felicia draws the inspiration for her artistic practice from the heart of this primordial landscape. Her work, imbued throughout with the memories of the land, conveys a glimpse of this intimate landscape where the mountains meet the plains, a melting pot of shared stories and emotions.

Khaled Dawwa, born in 1985 in Misyaf, Syria, is a Syrian sculptor who has been living in exile in France since 2014. Having graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus in 2007, specialising in sculpture, his work has, from the outset, been shaped by the political context in Syria, where official sculpture has long served as a means of glorifying those in power.

Trained as an architect, Clémentine Debaere-Lewandowski has developed an artistic practice at the intersection of architecture, geology and environmental history. Through the act of imprinting, she explores landscapes, erosion and material traces as tangible witnesses to the world’s transformations.

Gabriela Larrea Almeida’s art is a quest for roots. Born in Ecuador, the visual artist and photographer arrived in Paris at the age of 10. Much like her totem plant, the agave—native to Latin America and now established in Europe—her work bridges two geographies, two cultures, and two histories. Duality – between light and shadow, gentleness and power, control and letting go – lies at the heart of her artistic practice.

Camille Guichard creates work that straddles several disciplines, subtly and gracefully blending the demands of film, photography and writing, with a particular focus on poetry. These closely intertwined worlds form a universal language. Her work explores the physical body, the passage of time, the fragility and the beauty of the world. Above all, she champions a profound freedom of expression.

Arlina Cai (born in 1995) is a painter based in Brooklyn, New York. Her abstract works transport us to an ethereal world, dotted with subtle symbols. They invite us to look within ourselves to connect with what lies within us – our emotions and our feelings.

A painter and visual artist, Guenolée de Carmoy grounds her artistic practice in an approach that is at once scientific, intuitive and a contemplative exploration of life. A graduate of HEC with a specialisation in sustainable development, trained at the École des Plantes in Paris, in life drawing classes at the Beaux-Arts and in various art workshops, she combines botanical knowledge, field experience and artistic practice. Her works, informed by spirituality, scientific research and the observation of nature, weave delicate connections between matter, memory and mystery. Through the lightness of paper, the density of pigments or the brilliance of stones, Guenolée de Carmoy explores our relationship with the world, between spiritual breath and material roots.

Ophélia Jacarini is a French artist born in 1991, based between Paris and Hong Kong. With a background in classical dance, her practice emerged as childhood revelation upon seeing Maurice Béjart’s work, sparking an obsession with movement and its transience. Trained in fashion design and fine art, she has developed a multidisciplinary practice (sculpture, painting, photography, installation) that explores the themes of time, memory and identity. Since 2017, she has been undertaking research projects that have resulted in exhibitions in galleries and institutions such as the CICA Museum and the Zeitz in Cape Town.
