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.
Artistic Statement
I am currently focusing on portraits of young people in contemporary society.
My works are atmospheric reflections of a younger generation — caught between self-discovery, vulnerability, and a sense of new beginnings. I seek to question the classical image of femininity while exploring the emotional condition of both genders more deeply.
A distinctive feature of my work is its expressive use of colour. Colour does not function merely as a descriptive element, but as an independent force. It is intended to permeate and transform the depicted people, animals, and landscapes, creating a dynamic tension between figuration and dissolution.
