Jorge Rodriguez Gerada was born in Santa Clara, Cuba on February 5, 1966. His family immigrated to the US in 1970 and relocated to New Jersey.
In 2002 he started working on the Identity Series: Gigantic charcoal portraits of anonymous people scale the walls of buildings in different cities around the world. These drawings question the controls imposed on public space, the role models that represent us and the type of events that are guarded by the collective memory.
Rodriguez-Gerada now lives between New York City and Barcelona.

Véronique Serfass was born in 1964 in the Ivory Coast to French expatriate parents. She remains marked by her upbringing in Africa, especially by the sense of being dislocated, of not belonging to any specific class or culture.
She traveled to France to complete her final degree, carried on studying graphics and held a number of unsatisfying jobs in communication, advertising and teaching. A two-year journey in Cameroon provoked a significant change within her. In 2003 she decided to pursue a new focus, artistic creation, and moved to Barcelona to achieve this aim.
