LARA GOMEZ
Lara's art often resembles themes that are a combination of nature and feminity. She works on her visual pieces experimenting with different languages and concepts through illustrations and letters (including typography, and mural art).
Her featured works "Bloom" and "Spring" are from a project called Bloom. Lara describes the project on her website as "a conversation about womanhood, nature, emotions and the ephemeral". In contrast, she expresses different emotions below. "Ausencia" (left) depicts "the loss or distraction of consciousness or being", and "Jaula" which regards "internal or external cages people often carry".
To her, she believes, "Europe is an open source to share, learn, and accept our different life experiences, identities, and ways of being without barriers".

Maëva Le Roux
Maëva is a French Indonesian artist and model. She also works as one of the art curators for the ECP-FG.
Maëva LE ROUX
Her artistic work focuses on symbolism. The high contrast in the colors translates to the existing tensions between recurrent and opposing concepts: nature and culture, life and death, figurative and abstract. The paintings are infused with spiritualism whilst representing scientific principles.
She believes that art should depart from one's introspection, that it should lead individuals to engage in society, in order to find more sustainable ways of life. Hence, she is currently studying Cultural Diplomacy, focusing on the capacity of Art and Culture to build bridges between nations.
