‘Holidaying’, 2019, SHRI SOURAJATA

‘Horizons Ahead’, 2024, adisaolashile

‘This image reflects the idea of possibility and open horizons. The sea represents both separation and connection, this is a reminder of the journeys that link people across Europe. It speaks to youth looking outward, imagining futures beyond borders, waiting for the tide of opportunities to return.’

‘Sit and Reflect’, 2024, Ellie Goodliffe

‘Photography. Decisions are made and things change. But how often do we reflect on them.

I invite those who can to sit and reflect on how these events impact the future of the next creative generation. 

Look out over the English Channel and really look past yourself.’

‘Zalishchyky’, 2023, Viktoriia Zavinska

‘An acrylic painting created after moving from the war in Ukraine, made as a heartfelt gift to the family who helped us settle in the United States. The artwork serves as a reminder of home—capturing the beauty and emotion of Zalishchyky while reflecting gratitude, memory, and resilience.’

‘Note to Self’, 2022, Frances Patrick

‘Mixed media textile painting, melted plastic, metal. 

I was lucky enough to study at Kyoto University, Japan, for a year. This piece hung on my wall, reminding me of what I was to do there. And explore I did.’

 ‘Union-Communion’, and ‘Bridges of Europe’, 2022, Kateryna Bortsova.

‘Main concept of my project based on notions "Movement = Change". This is an understanding of changes in the social environment, a person's place in a modern city; stratification and layering of various cultural, social changes. In addition, the project touches upon topics related to the pandemic, border closures and, of course, the growing global tendency to move away from globalization, the desire of states to self-identify, focus on internal problems, and internal self-development.’

‘Portal to Serenity’, 2024, Abibat Adedayo

‘This painting was born from a quiet reflection on change. Portal to Serenity is my way of visualizing what it feels like to stand on the edge of something new, a transition, a decision, a leap. I imagined a road that doesn’t just lead forward, but transforms as it moves, merging into a glowing portal of light.’

‘Chasing Stars’, 2022, Claudia Tong

‘Chasing Stars portrays a figure reaching toward the night sky—an image of aspiration, curiosity, and hope. Through layered textures and luminous contrasts, the work reflects the spirit of European youth striving toward new horizons, united by the pursuit of dreams and the belief that every open door leads closer to the stars.’

‘Reach’, 2022, Dr. Ally Zlatar

‘This series looks at connection in an uncertain future. It represents accessibility for migrants and displaced communities, offering a visual reminder that everyone deserves safety and belonging; not division. They highlight especially for youth navigating a world shaped by conflict, climate change, and migration, the flag becomes a beacon of possibility and a new hope.’

‘Dialogue’, 2025, Mari Kempf

‘Dozens of lips in varying shapes, sizes, and colors float across a deep purple canvas, representing the multitude of voices that make up human dialogue. The collage-style composition celebrates differences while emphasizing our shared capacity to speak, listen, and express. The word "DIALOGUE" emerges from this chorus of mouths, suggesting that true communication arises from embracing multiplicity rather than uniformity.’

‘Door 15’, 2025, Nataliya Lemesheva

‘Oil and industrial plastic on canvas

A real doorway from Maresme, sealed beneath plastic — half open, half denied. The work reflects the fragile balance between access and exclusion that defines today’s Europe. The door stands as both barrier and hope: a reminder that open futures depend on our willingness to see through the surface.’

"You can sit or you can fight", 2025, Sopiko Simonishvili

‘Acrylic and oil on canvas ;120 x 90 cm. This painting reflects the freedom of choice and the strength found in determination. Through bold color contrasts and expressive movement, You Can Sit or You Can Fight captures the tension between passivity and action — the moment when one decides whether to remain still or rise to confront challenges. The layered textures of acrylic and oil suggest resilience, courage, and the restless energy that drives personal and collective transformation.

‘Adrift’, 2025, Ana Prundaru

‘Surreal collage of someone holding on to a phone and loads of impressions of the world.’

‘Another Hymn’, 2025, Andrew Maher

‘Oil on canvas, 170cmx200cm. The piece was made with the intention of holding onto the surface of the painting, through this screen we can see something bloom. Its visible to all of us and could be beautiful, however time will pass and potentially the opportunity too.’

‘Open Door to Shared Futures’, 2024, Tea Silagadze

Open Door to Shared Futures symbolizes unity, opportunity, and hope for European youth. The twelve golden circles echo the EU flag, while phosphorescent stars glowing in the dark represent hidden possibilities and guidance. For Georgia, this work also reflects our cultural and historical belonging to Europe and our people’s desire to join the European family, despite political obstacles. It is both a vision of shared futures and a call to keep Europe’s door open for Georgia. 

Size: 60 × 50 cm

‘On the Road’, 2015, Brigitte B Burckhardt

‘On the Road the horizon wide open.Everything is possible’

‘Make Me’, 2025, Livin Moss

‘Make Me is about free will and personal freedom & how art is this individual act of pure self-expression, a way of bringing to the surface our inner self, stepping back & seeing what emerges. The looseness of the strokes, the unfiltered colour, and the scratched symbols reflect that process: an exploration of freedom through making.’

‘Stuck in Place’, 2025, Mariia Babina

‘“Stuck in Place” reflects a feeling of being trapped or lost in routine. The empty chairs and distant figures represent isolation and waiting, while the words “No Exit?” add a question about direction and escape. The minimal style highlights the silence and uncertainty of the moment.

‘The Passenger of the Heart’, 2025, Fatih Sungurtekin

‘“The Passenger of the Heart” fuses memory, cinema, poetry, and space in a visual journey; Yunus Emre’s Sufi verse, Yesilcam’s golden-age portraits, and Istanbul’s vintage signs intertwine with Anatolian routes Hattuşaş, Muğla, İzmir evoking deep longing that binds past to present in a timeless passenger. Lone woman at bus terminal, digital collage to oil on canvas, mirrors mural heritage. Sufi whispers of love and quest. Postcard-stamp series: identity, history, perception collide.’

The Waiting Shore (2023), Xinan Yang

‘Oil on canvas screen, 120 x 145 cm

A folding screen depicting figures gathered by the sea at sunset, this work transforms the shoreline into a stage of waiting and return. Blending domestic object and landscape, it reflects on resilience, displacement, and the cyclical rhythms of homecoming.’

‘Vitality’, 2024, Claudia Tong

‘Vitality is a mixed media work inspired by the Paris Olympics, celebrating the energy, diversity, and shared spirit of a new generation. Through dynamic layers of colour and movement, it captures the pulse of youth across Europe—driven by creativity, unity, and the limitless possibilities of open doors and open futures.’

‘Flags in Motion, 2025, Will Mower

‘A generative art project that examines the fixed nature of flag iconography and the symbolic associations we attach to their designs.

Using a set of design rules governing colour, shape and layout the code generates flags at random. Each flag is then arbitrarily assigned to a “collective identity” and paired with a randomly selected description from a curated list.
