CONNECTING ARTISTS FROM EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH
Project 195 is an ongoing mission by 13AM to build a truly global creative network, representing artists from every country in the world, something that has never been done before.
By bringing together different cultures, perspectives, and lived experiences, the project creates a shared space where creativity can exist without borders. In an ever more divided world, it offers a way to connect through a universal language, building a collection that reflects the world as it is today.
AS FEATURED IN
171/195 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED
No creative platform, gallery, brand, or institution has ever achieved full global representation. Project 195 exists to change that.
Today, 13AM represents 171 of the world’s 195 countries, brought together into a single creative collection and community.
Later this year, we will reach 182 countries. At that point, online discovery stops and The Final 13 begins...
The moment we step into the real world.
The final 13 countries are the hardest to reach, shifting the approach from digital discovery to real-world connection, travelling in person to find and collaborate with artists on the ground.
Captured as it happens, it becomes a global series, completing a world-first creative movement in front of the world.

#ARTIST411 | YEMEN
Aseel Swaid is a Yemeni journalist and visual artist whose practice explores the intersections of art, identity, memory, conflict and human experience. Working across conceptual, surrealist, abstract and documentary art, he uses photography and visual storytelling to examine social realities, cultural narratives and the complexities of everyday life.
His approach brings together documentary observation and conceptual experimentation, often blending symbolism, visual contrasts and unconventional compositions to create images that challenge perception and invite reflection. Through his multidisciplinary practice, Aseel transforms personal and collective experiences into visual narratives that connect art with humanity and the realities of the world around him.

#ARTIST402 | SOUTH KOREA
South Korean visual artist Jihoon Sun, known as Loh3n, explores the space between our inner worlds and the way they appear from the outside. He describes his practice as a contemporary form of painting, summoning images through language, then searching for the single moment that feels inevitable.
The result is vivid, cinematic and quietly introspective: cobalt blue meeting vermilion, averted gazes that suggest untold stories, patterns spreading across figures like a second skin. Represented internationally by Colagene across Paris, Berlin and Montreal, Loh3n continues two personal series, Rohen Art and Rohen Film, alongside limited-edition print collaborations.

#ARTIST410 | ITALY
Luca Altini, known professionally as Luca Font, is a visual artist based in Milan whose practice moves fluidly across tattooing, illustration and painting, all united by a single, instantly recognisable visual language.
That language is built on bold graphics, strong blacks and primary colours, a pared-back, graphic approach that draws on mid-century European art and Italian futurism while reading as distinctly contemporary. The result carries a retro sensibility yet turns its eye firmly on today’s reality, familiar in feel but of the present moment.

SUMMER STRETCH
#ARTIST399 | MOLDOVA
Vitalie Burcovschi is a Moldovan-born surrealist artist and the founder of Surrealistly, a contemporary art project exploring the space between dreams, reality and human emotion. Originally trained as a theatre director, he brings a storyteller's instinct to his visual work, with his background in composition and performance shaping a distinctive and deliberate visual language.
Blending traditional surrealist ideas with contemporary digital tools and artificial intelligence, Vitalie creates clean, thought-provoking scenes that transform ordinary moments into unexpected visual narratives. His work leans on simplicity, illusion and subtle contradiction, inviting the viewer to interpret the story for themselves rather than handing it to them. Through Surrealistly his work has reached an international audience and featured in creative collaborations across art, music and culture, and in 2024 he created the album artwork for Tears for Fears' Songs for a Nervous Planet.
