Sambin des Arts 2027

Stylist & artistic director — Patron 2027 Edition

Jenke Ahmed Tailly, stylist and artistic director, offers the world a deeply human fashion that brings together and blends the plurality of beauty.

From his first steps in Côte d'Ivoire, immersed in traditions and ancestral craftsmanship, to prestigious collaborations with established houses and emerging creators, and his unparalleled work with icons including Isabelle Adjani, Beyoncé, Naomi Campbell and Kim Kardashian, he has made his roots the driving force behind an inclusive creative approach.

From childhood, Jenke understood that a garment, a practical everyday object, holds deep symbolic value. In major African families, traditional ceremonies mark the stages of a human life.

For each event, there is a symbolic garment, specific fabrics, a design, techniques, a memory. He discovered textiles, craftsmanship, and learned—almost without realizing it—how to advise, compose and distinguish.

It is this vision he has carried throughout his career: teaching people to stand out is opening the world to them.

Raphaël Federici is a visual artist formerly known under the name ParisSketchCulture (PSC).

Born in 1986, Raphaël Federici lives and works between Paris and Provence. He devotes himself almost exclusively to travel in search of walls to paint.

He claims to belong to Generation Y and seeks to be the spokesperson of a generation through his subjects and techniques, experimenting with a universal language: street art.

He defines his art as all-terrain, combining classical painting, spray paint, illustration, sculpture, leatherwork, projection and carpentry...

He describes his artistic movement as neo pop-expressionism and currently works along the paths of Afrofuturism.

Marcos Lozano is a Spanish painter with international reach whose work stands among the strongest proposals in contemporary European figurative art.

His work is distinguished by exceptional technical mastery and a deep understanding of Western pictorial tradition, which he reinterprets through a contemporary sensibility combining formal rigor and intellectual ambition, setting him apart within his generation.

Throughout his career, he has developed a coherent international presence, with exhibitions in London, Paris, Switzerland, Taipei, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Barcelona, Madrid, Bergamo and Budapest, among other cities.

He participated in the National Gallery of London's Bicentenary program, establishing a direct dialogue with the history of European painting, and worked on a project conceived for the Louvre, strengthening his institutional positioning.

He also presented a retrospective in Madrid, affirming the coherence and evolution of his artistic production.

His collaboration with Tang Contemporary in Hong Kong consolidated his presence on the Asian scene, placing his journey within an international dynamic linking Europe, America and Asia.

The intensity of his pictorial language, technical precision and conceptual ambition position him among the contemporary figurative artists with the strongest international projection.
