Our platform provides carefully curated access to artworks selected by art experts, guaranteeing a selection of the highest quality.

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.

Personal Statement

My artistic practice weaves together music, the human body, and dance. I experience music visually—when I listen, I see images or movements unfolding in my mind’s eye. Conversely, I perceive images musically, feeling rhythm, harmony, and melody within their forms. Some of my paintings even resemble written musical notations.

Ultimately, my works serve as choreographic transcriptions—visual scores for imagined dances. At the heart of my practice lies synaesthesia: the seamless fusion of sensory experiences that guides every brushstroke and movement.
