"Future generations will consider the fall of the Berlin Wall as the true beginning of a new European migration of the peoples. Europe's powerful attraction to the world is fed by its attractive social system and its low birth rate. Europe is becoming a melting pot of a new global future. Driven by cultural and political innovation, people try out new concepts of social life and interaction. From Africa and Asia they pour into Europe and come in as new citizens of this world. Globalization makes any war a civil war! Whether in Africa, Asia, the Middle East or right at our doorstep on Plaza Catalunya in Barcelona, everywhere amazing young citizens call for equitable access to the world's resources. The intelligence of the swarm will indicate the direction and it is always the right one. Let us listen to the wisdom of the crowds. Now."
This text is a quote of 2012. In post pandemic times we see migration inside Europe (from cities to remote countryside) as well as from the north to the south and east. As ever citizens are experiencing the collateral damage most and they are preparing for a greater reset.
The neutral faces honor the power and energy of all these amazing citizens, willing to reconfigure and rebuild our societies. Even mass migration will be a game changer.

Juan feels truly European and he works and lives in several countries that are all home to him. He believes that the unifying identity of the future Europe will be created through its cultural diversity, and that this new identity could provide a utopian blueprint for other parts of the world.
With art being a central part of the concept of culture the aim of Juan’s art is to visualise this identity now, thus helping to advance the process of identity creation.
Juan is the founder of the gallery Casa del Dragon and of the European art network EL-DRAC. More recently he started the first colour garden, as part of sevengardens, a UNESCO certified project in Spain.
