Rosana particularly emphasized one artist from Guatemala, Marisa Siebold, at the "Art Connects Women" event organized by Zeearts, led by cultural representative Zaahirah Zaben Muthy. She was impressed by how her paintings evoke human values such as empathy, peace, and culture. She felt that they had met before at different events, and was very interested in LABA, and this wonderful team that champions culture and promotes great values. Her art delves into an intuitive language to explore the birth of peace from the depths of our being. Through a visual narrative, she seeks to convey how small changes within ourselves can have a positive impact on others, thus creating a flow of harmony that spreads beyond our own internal borders.

Some of the American artists have personally brought their original paintings and even drove to LABA's Los Angeles headquarters for face-to-face communication with members of the organizing committee. Among them, artists Tm Gratkowski, Harley Cortez, and Lilli Muller. Tm Gratkowski is a contemporary artist who works with paper, Harley Cortez is a painter and visual artist, and Lilli Muller is a multi-disciplinary artist who also participated in the Venice Biennale.
Although artists from mainland China are far away from the United States, several artists overcame the difficulties of travel to come to Los Angeles in person to participate in various activities of the LABA Biennial International Art Festival. They include interior designer Wenkang Xue, and artists Zhejiang, Xiuwen Wang, and Jun Tan.
