Meet the panel:

Francis Arevalo:
Francis is a hip-hop artist, music producer and artist manager with his company UWIDO. Whichever form his creativity, life and work are expressed through, the common threads are approaches of thoughtfulness, curiosity, sensitivity, play and imagination.
Ciele Beau:
Ciele is a muralist, illustrator, painter and designer. Her work focuses on the human condition, our emotional responses and everyday experiences. Never one to be afraid of colour, Ciele loves to create paintings, illustrations and murals using bright bold hues and playful imagery. As part of a personal practise, Ciele also derives influence from her experience having Synesthesia - a condition where the brain mixes up the senses and stimulation of one sensory pathway leading to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway. For example - when Ciele listens to music she FEELS colour and SEES shapes. She has created a painting practice around this experience that allows her to translate sheet music of her favourite songs into colour on the canvas. (Learn more about synesthesia and her 'Sound To Colour' paintings here!)
