« Your Art isn't made with tools. It's made with memories that won't fade until you give them shape.
Stop trying to make "Art". Start trying to make Sense.
Of what haunts you.
Of what you survived.
Of what you can't forget.»
Louise Bourgeois
Who is ?
November 2026 – JONA was born from the desire to make the world a better place. A space where creativity becomes a bridge between people, perspectives, and ideas. We believe that art is more than an image or a performance. It is a tool for change, a way to make injustice visible, amplify voices, and create connection.
Art should not be confined to walls, frames, or definitions. It is a way to speak, to connect, and to feel.
Not something reserved for experts, but something that belongs to everyone.
Our goal is to create a new way of experiencing art: immersive, accessible, and alive. We want to change the way people engage with art and invite those who might not usually visit a gallery.
At JONA there are no rules except freedom and respect. Artists can unfold their visions without restrictions and every voice is heard, regardless of status, resources, or experience.
We create spaces for everyone, spaces that inspire, awaken empathy, and invite people not just to observe, but to feel, reflect, and become part of the change themselves. Art is our starting point, change is our goal.
JONA aims not only to provide artists with a platform for their work, but also to create economic opportunities. This way, artists can sustain their practice while the collective becomes a space to spread important messages, support emerging talent, and build connections between established and up-and-coming artists.

We believe that everyone deserves the chance to share their story and showcase their work, so that their voice is no longer unseen, and their creativity no longer overlooThrough JONA, art becomes a conversation rather than a display. It becomes a meeting point, between ideas, people and emotions. We work across disciplines and forms, blending sound, movement, image, and space to tell stories that reflect the world we live in and the worlds we imagine.
Some words from us :
I don’t claim any special talent, I’m simply driven by curiosity. And every day, I remind myself that who I am, is shaped by countless people, past and present. Standing on the efforts, thoughts, and struggles of those who came before me and around me now. What they’ve built carries me, and it’s on me to give back with the same intensity as much as I can offer.
