France．Young generation artist

Olga Karika

Ukraine． Artist of Eternal beauty

She does so in order to encourage the viewer to start a dialogue with their inner self. Olgas main inspiration is so called "eternal beauty" that can be firm and invariable but can hide a lot.

Margot Anquez 

Earth Observer, Changing Clay Artist

Margot Anquez is an artist who grew up observing clay. So much so that it has become her favourite material, used in all its forms and natures. It is through the earth that she explore the connections between geological and human landscapes. Fertility and the transformation of ecosystems due to our industrial activities are major issues of our time, and her own body is no exception. I compare the myths handed down by her ancestors with concrete observations of natural phenomena, developing a repertoire of related forms and materials.
