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
168/195 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED
No creative platform, gallery, brand, or institution has ever achieved full global representation. Project 195 exists to change that.
Today, 13AM represents 168 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.

MF DOOM
#ARTIST398 | HONDURAS
Hernan Ramos is a Honduran artist and illustrator, working in a vibrant, colour-led style built to spark the viewer's curiosity. After more than a decade in the advertising industry as an art director for agencies including Ogilvy, DDB and BBDO, he made the deliberate choice to change path and dedicate himself fully to illustration, and has spent the last five-plus years as a freelance digital illustrator translating concepts, stories and ideas into bold, engaging visual work.
For Hernan, drawing has always been a creative refuge. He thrives on the chaos of layering one colour over another, turning an idea into a poster that signals something big is about to happen. That energy has carried his work onto some striking stages: he's illustrated for music festivals including Florida Grove Fest in the USA, Reggaeton Rave in New York, Othe Armance in France and Neon Countdown in Thailand, and most recently created work for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina.

#ARTIST395 | RUSSIA
Anna Butova is a fantasy and science fiction illustrator, concept artist and author from Russia, now based in Thailand, specialising in book covers, key art and visual worldbuilding. Her work is built on atmosphere and storytelling, creating immersive environments and moods that pull the viewer deep inside the worlds she imagines.
What she loves most is exploring the emotions and small details that make a fictional world feel alive, the very elements that audiences tend to connect with most in her work. Her illustration spans publishing projects, game development and original creative worlds of her own, and as a fantasy and science fiction author in her own right, that same instinct for narrative shapes everything she draws, giving each piece a unique and memorable visual story.

#ARTIST396 | UKRAINE
SKEEVA is the working name of Eugene Golovanchuk, a Ukrainian artist working in stylised figure and fashion imagery. His figures are built entirely out of product: inflated volumes balanced on thin limbs, oversized footwear, panels and soles that read as anatomy. They hover on flat voids, each carrying a single accent held under ration, and never once touch the ground.
Behind the work sits a decade of commissioned CGI and art direction for names like Apple, Adidas, PlayStation, SpaceX and Adobe. Today he runs SKV.7, where his image-making is governed by a written doctrine of ten laws, a framework measured off his own body of work rather than decided in advance, giving everything he makes a discipline and consistency entirely its own.

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.

LADY FINGERS
#ARTIST390 | SAMOA
Nikki Mariner is a self-taught Samoan painter based in Samoa, whose vibrant acrylics on canvas explore the rich interior lives of modern Samoan women and their relationships with one another and the world around them. Her work examines how these women navigate a modern, technological world while remaining deeply rooted in an indigenous, traditional Pacific culture, blending bright colours and bold patterns with traditional Samoan tattoo motifs and textiles, and placing her subjects within their natural tropical surroundings.
Beyond her own practice, Nikki is co-founder of Manamea Art Gallery, and in 2024 she represented Samoa in visual arts at the Festival of Pacific Arts (FestPAC) in Honolulu. Her large-scale paintings now welcome international visitors in the VIP Lounge terminal at Faleolo International Airport, a fitting reflection of her role as one of the leading creative voices of her nation.
