About the
Edition

The next chapter of Beauty is Art moves to Paris. A new curated selection of artists presenting beauty as independent visual art, on the walls of a contemporary art gallery in the city where the idea of the gallery was invented.

Participation is remote. Your work is printed, framed and installed by us — you are welcome in Paris on the night, but nothing depends on your being there.

The Artists

Every artist has a profile with their Artist Pass, biography and the works shown on the gallery wall in Paris.

4.59 Meters of Resilience, collective nail art work

4.59 Meters of Resilience

How far can we go when we believe the impossible is possible?

On May 30, 2026, at Premiere Orlando, ten Ukrainian nail artists living in the United States united to create one extraordinary nail extension. Inspired by Mriya, Ukraine’s legendary aircraft and a symbol of ambition and resilience, we built a 4.59-meter extension in just three hours. It was worn for more than an hour.

This was more than a record attempt. It was proof that fragile things become strong through trust, teamwork, and shared purpose. One person could not create it. Ten could.

We are ready to go further, not only to break a record, but to show what people can achieve together. If ten people can make the impossible real, imagine what millions can build. We believe peace begins the same way: by choosing to create together.
