He has also received numerous awards and recognitions, such as the Scholarship for Artistic Creation of the National Fund for Culture and the Arts of Mexico in 2003, the artistic residency award of the Casa de Velázquez in 2006 and the Research Grant of the French Institute of Latin America in 2009.

Nolvenn Le Goff Of Mexican and French origin, Nolvenn travels to Barcelona in 2005 to pursue a Master's Degree in Marketing after completing a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design and two specializations at the School of Design of the National Institute of Fine Arts in Mexico in Editorial Design, Multimedia and Advertising Creativity. In 2010, Nolvenn began his formal journey through the art world. He questions himself about the role of the artist, the themes that interest him and the way to reflect them in his projects. This year two of them are born based on his environmental concerns: a playful project based on artistic recycling and Paper Cities. These Paper Cities have been one of their most rewarding projects, both technically, aesthetically and conceptually. The cities win an international contemporary art competition (bARTcelona, 2010), allow him to spend 2 months of artistic residency at the ecomuseum La Papeterie de Vaux, in France (2012) and participate in the Art Capital art show, at the Grand Palais in Paris. In 2021, they will take part in the Homo Faber Biennale in Venice, organized by the Michelangelo Foundation. In 2014 Nolvenn founded Talent Lab, a gallery/workshop in Barcelona. The discovery of sacred geometry derived in his Harmonious Sets. This new project, purely geometric, aims to raise awareness that we all share a common origin and that our actions affect both the whole and ourselves. Nolvenn's goal, as an artist and a human, is to inspire positive change in the world. To achieve real change we have to start with ourselves. Nolvenn aims to remind us with his latest project that we all have wings, but some choose to amputate them. These wings are full of symbolism and personal allegories: the angel's wing represents the values and purity that Nolvenn tries to maintain in his personal life. It goes against the grain in a world where individualism and immediacy seem to prevail. The Pegasus wing symbolizes the world of mysticism that serves as his refuge and inspiration. The bird's wing represents his union with nature and the freedom that, in his eyes, is synonymous with responsibility. Nolvenn currently lives in Dordogne, France, surrounded by forests and lakes. This daily coexistence with the nature she loves so much has inspired new projects, such as Textures or the Montagnes series.
