The Prince's Trust

The Prince's Trust is a youth charity that helps change young lives. The Trust gives practical and financial support, developing key workplace skills such as confidence and motivation. They work with 14 to 30-year-olds who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law. They have helped more than 600,000 young people since 1976 and support 100 more each working day. More than three in four young people helped last year moved into work, education or training. Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.

The Prince's Trust has received support from many notable celebrities including David Beckam, Queen and Paul McCartney.

About the Artist

Miquela Nicolau was born in 1942 in the town of Campos, on the plains of the island of Majorca off the coast of Spain. Spending her childhood with her family in this simple environment, in the light and warmth of the Majorcan southern landscape, would mark the intimate themes of her future works. Her studies, started in reply to an interest in expressing her inner world, were carried out at Escola d'Art i Oficis of Palma, where she worked with drawing, ceramics and painting. However, it was the possibilities of color in painting that led her to define a path of experimentation in this technique, initially by means of different studies and later by self-teaching.

A cooking enthusiast, Miquela also loves mixing emulsions and pigments in her workshop, eager to discover a personalized artistic way. She uses collage in most of her works to incorporate elements into painting that express personal feelings and experiences. Since her first personal exhibit in 1986, she has shown her works at different halls, art galleries and fairs, as well as in both national and international contests. Her works have been exhibited in Germany, France, Switzerland and various Spanish cities.

Miquela's works are also part of many private and public collections and she has received several international and national awards. In Miquela's own words, the aim of her work is her personal expression of the balance and beauty of all things simple, natural and human, as a reaction to the technical spirit and turmoil of current times. As a result, serenity and well being stand out as the most relevant elements provided by the contemplation of her works.
