Brief Biograpghy & Artistic Journey
Martina Hamrik
Born: 1967 in Kenzingen, near Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany
Studio & Residence:
– Munich (since 1988)
– Lake Starnberg region (since 1994)
Patented Technique:
In 2014, Martina Hamrik secured a German patent for her innovative “loop‑canvas” technology. By weaving loops of canvas into three‑dimensional backgrounds, she transforms her paintings into dynamic, sculptural environments. This patented process gives her works powerful depth and makes the figures appear to leap off the surface, imbuing each composition with a palpable sense of life and motion.
Artistic Themes:
Hamrik’s artistic repertoire draws on motifs from sports, nature, dance, and leisure. Whether capturing the tension of an athlete in motion or the graceful arc of a dancer’s leap, her loop‑canvas surfaces amplify the energy and emotion inherent in each subject.
Global Reach:
Martina Hamrik’s works are collected worldwide, reflecting her international appeal and the universal resonance of her three‑dimensional style.

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.
Statement & Vision and Goals
Martina Hamrik continues to evolve her loop‑canvas approach, exploring new materials and formats. Her forward‑thinking practice positions her at the forefront of contemporary painting, where innovation and craftsmanship merge to redefine how art inhabits physical space.
