After her travels in Colombia and Morocco, Aurélie Andrès created Òrale which is an “Organization for rural arts, learning and education”, with the aim of enriching infrastructure, with the locals she meets.

 

"When I was younger, I wasn’t very academically inclined. It was later, when I began traveling the world that I learned a lot of what I know today, that is my real education. This is what I want to pass on to all these young people. I hope that when they look back at what we have painted together, that it will bring them joy and more creative ideas to try on their own. Hopefully these illustrations will remind them that they are capable of accomplishing great and beautiful things despite the lack of means.”

The LIBERTA mural, a breath of hope on the walls of Tripoli, Libya,  novembre 2024

In collaboration with the Artivista association and the NGO Super Novae, the Libertà mural is taking place in the urban space of Tripoli, Libya. Conceived as a powerful message of resilience and peace, it celebrates the newfound freedom in a country marked by recent conflicts. This colorful work offers a vibrant composition in which we sense the fluttering of life's wings as it returns. Each element evokes transformation, reconstruction, and hope. Produced with the participation of veterans trained in the arts with the support of Super Novae, Libertà embodies a peaceful and creative transition. It is a powerful visual testament to what art can generate: connection, dignity, and a shared future. With its vibrant colors and generous shapes, the mural catches the eye, invites contemplation, and arouses emotion. She transforms a simple wall into a poetic and united manifesto, where the symbols of peace and freedom shine for all.

La fresque LIBERTA, un souffle d’espoir sur les murs de Tripoli en Lybie, novembre 2024

En collaboration avec l’association Artivista et l’ONG Super Novae, la fresque Libertà s’invite dans l’espace urbain de Tripoli, en Libye. Pensée comme un message fort de résilience et de paix, elle célèbre la liberté retrouvée dans un pays marqué par les conflits récents.

Cette œuvre haute en couleur offre une composition vibrante où l’on devine le battement d’ailes de la vie qui reprend.

Chaque élément évoque la transformation, la reconstruction et l’espoir.

Réalisée avec la participation d’anciens combattants formés aux métiers de l’art grâce à l’accompagnement de Super Novae, Libertà incarne une transition pacifique et créative. C’est un témoignage visuel puissant de ce que l’art peut générer : lien, dignité, et avenir commun. Avec ses couleurs éclatantes et ses formes généreuses, la fresque attire l’œil, invite à la contemplation et suscite l’émotion. Elle transforme un simple mur en manifeste poétique et solidaire, où les symboles de la paix et de la liberté rayonnent pour tous.

Associative project organized with the both organizations PADDLE PADDLE CHARITY PROJECT and COSTENO SOCIAL.

 

Until now, the future of young people on the Guachaca coast (Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region) has been mainly limited to illegal occupations. Thanks to the local organization COSTENO SOCIAL, young people can participate in activities such as English lessons; art; yoga, theater; gardening; surf ... These various classes aim to orient them towards trade skills related to tourism which has recently developed in this isolated region. As part of this project, surfboards were donated to this local organization.

Four days of workshops around surfing, art and the environment were organized on site to celebrate the donation.

The POSCA brand provided markers during this workshop.
