Collaborators

The Big Collection is a curated selection of artwork created by children from diverse and unique corners of the world. We aim to nurture and celebrate children's untethered ingenuity, while establishing their deserved place within the contemporary art world. This project is not a charity but a celebration of authentic, original paintings that hold their own in the contemporary art scene.

'It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.'

Pablo Picasso

self-reliance

Each artwork sold directly funds a soup kitchen run by local mothers from within the community, allowing the children to become active participants contributing to their own livelihood and sustain their community. While improving the lives of these young artists and expanding the project is an important objective, the true significance lies in the contribution their artworks make to a world hungry for authenticity and spirit.
