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
167/195 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED
No creative platform, gallery, brand, or institution has ever achieved full global representation. Project 195 exists to change that.
Today, 13AM represents 167 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.

#ARTIST388 | AUSTRALIA
Brolga is an Australian-based artist and illustrator who first gained recognition for his large-scale wheat pastes, street art, and murals on the streets of New York. With an aesthetic that blends graphic punch and daydream-like looseness, he crafts characters that speak without words, inviting audiences into imaginative, universal stories.
His art began on the road. Growing up in Australia, Brolga's family would make days-long journeys across the country, moving house from Queensland to the Northern Territory and back, and it was on these trips through the remote terrain of his home that he first started illustrating his surreal, imaginative characters. Influenced by years of travel and living abroad, those characters now appear across murals, installations, prints, and brand collaborations alike, always carrying the same playful, wordless storytelling at their core. His work has been commissioned by the likes of Nike, Jaguar, Apple, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lego, Google, The New York Times, BMW, and YouTube Kids.

Gabriel Diogo is a designer and illustrator, born and raised on the East Side of São Paulo, Brazil. A graduate in Graphic and Digital Design from the Istituto Europeo di Design, he describes himself as a designer who found himself in illustration, someone who has always made art.

His work has also been recognised with two Bronze awards: at PR Awards Asia 2022 for Hotels.com's Marks of Summer campaign (with Weber Shandwick), and at the 2023 Prêmio Brasileiro de Design (BDA) for the Granellos packaging (with Palp Studio).

Paul Gilbert is a Seychellois artist working in acrylic, known for a distinctive style that blends realism and impressionism. Born and raised on La Digue Island, he draws deeply on the natural world around him, with a special admiration for nature that runs through everything he creates. His paintings celebrate the life and landscape of the islands, Creole houses, fishermen, beaches, sweeping landscapes, and the movement of traditional dance in the sega and Moutia.
Paul studied fine arts at the School of Art and Design and art education at the School of Education and Community Studies at the Seychelles Polytechnic, beginning his career teaching art at secondary level. In 2008 he made a defining change, holding his first solo exhibition and stepping into life as a freelance artist. In the years since he has shown his work in exhibitions across the islands and led art classes for guests at several five-star hotels on Mahé, the main island of Seychelles, before staging his second solo exhibition in 2023.
