Christine Safa
Prix Jean-François Prat
Christine Safa is the winner of the Prix Jean-François Prat 2024. Born in France in 1994, she lives and works in Paris. Christine Safa focuses on emotionally charged moments and places that memory has retained. Faces mingle with mountains, silhouettes appear from the horizons, figures settle into the landscape, reduced to essentials, they become a vibrant layer of paint. Favouring a warm palette that acknowledges its Mediterranean origins, the work is interested in what remains present, simply but fully.

Yama Ndiaye
Grand Prix Picto de la Photographie de Mode
Yama Ndiaye is a 24-year-old Franco-Senegalese photographer born in Paris to a painter father and a visual artist mother. Having grown up in her parents' studio and with a dual cultural heritage between Dakar and Toulouse, she felt the need to express her own vision. She favours a poetic aesthetic that combines staging, field photography, the reappropriation of archive images and the exploration of mixed printing techniques. Her work lies on the edge between fashion photography and the visual arts. In particular, she devotes herself to long-term personal projects exploring the themes of diasporic representation, identity, family and memory.

A spontaneous documentary photographer at heart, he likes to show the world from different angles, mainly from an ethnographic point of view. Through his delicate and precise approach to storytelling, he is committed to revealing the beauty of Africa to the world.

Gabriel Gómez
Dotation Filippo Roversi
Gabriel Gómez is a 30-year-old fashion and portrait photographer from Caracas, Venezuela, who now lives in France. His images reveal the incandescence of what has been, will perhaps be, or will disappear forever. His Journal series is a long-term project about what remains of him and what he was unable to build. Each photo was taken years apart and presents different versions of him, so as not to forget that things evolve and grow as he learns, hears and sees.

Silvana Trevale
Dotation LGA Management / JANVIER
Silvana Trevale was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. Her portrait-based work is a fusion of documentary and fashion. She seeks to celebrate the intrinsic beauty of the human body, her Latin American roots, womanhood, youthhood and the realities of people around her. Over the last two years, her work has focused on celebrating the multifaceted nature of her native country, a place where beauty and chaos coexist harmoniously. Witnessing the persistence of traditions in difficult times has inspired her to document them, ensuring that they are preserved for posterity, never to be lost or forgotten.

Laura Jones
Archibald Prize
Laura Jones has won the 2024 Archibald Prize for her portrait of the Australian author Tim Winton. In 2016, Laura Jones undertook an artist residency to study the bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef, leading to her exhibition Bleached. Afterwards, she met acclaimed author and conservationist Tim Winton at an environmental advocacy event. "I have to admit that I'm a very reluctant sitter, but I had seen Laura's paintings of the Great Barrier Reef coral gardens, including her beautiful and tragic depictions of coral bleaching, so I was a little more curious and open than usual," Winton said.

Liberty Art Award

Louis Miralles is a second-year student at the École nationale supérieure d'art et de design de Limoges, he will be spending his final year as an exchange student in Spain. Searching for memories of encounters and places, he captures the passage of time, revealing the impossibility of recapturing a bygone era, but also the new perspectives opened up by time.
