Brief Biography | Artistic Background
Skadi Engeln (b. 1966, Germany · lives and works in Berlin and France) is a painter and sculptor whose work evolves from a deep engagement with landscape, atmosphere and the quiet transitions of light. Trained in sculpture under Robert van de Laar and in painting under Michael Kohr and Hermanus Westendorp at the FH Ottersberg, she developed a visual language that merges spatial sensitivity with subtle abstraction.
Her compositions distill horizons, fields, water surfaces and shifting weather conditions into condensed chromatic spaces. Through tempered layers of tempera, oil and charcoal she creates works that oscillate between depth and silence, presence and dissolution. Engeln’s paintings hold a meditative clarity — a sense of places remembered, perceived or imagined.
Her work has been exhibited extensively in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Bonn, Hamburg, Munich, Paris, Graz, New York and Molde, and forms part of international private and institutional collections. Engeln’s practice represents a contemporary landscape abstraction defined by atmosphere, nuance and contemplative resonance.

Our Mission and Actions
At THE ART HUB, our mission is initially focused on addressing a profound imbalance within the art world, specifically catering to women artists. In the current landscape, a mere 5% to 15% of artworks traded at auctions are created by women, starkly contrasted by the overwhelming 85% to 95% of works by male artists. This disparity is not only confined to auctions but is also prevalent in exhibitions, where male-created art significantly overshadows that of their female counterparts.
By concentrating our efforts on female artists, THE ART HUB aims to counteract this imbalance and champion women within the art community. This initiative is designed to amplify the visibility of women artists, making their creations more accessible to a wider audience, and ultimately striving for a more balanced representation of genders within art auctions and exhibitions. By prioritizing women in art, our platform boldly advocates for equality and diversity within the art sector, signaling a commitment to reshaping and enriching the cultural landscape.
