Brief Biography | Artistic Background
Ela Reitinger (b. 1970, Austria · lives and works in Austria and Italy) is an Austrian artist known for her expressive, high-energy paintings that emerge from the dynamic interplay of emotion, movement and colour. Working with acrylics, pigments and gestural brushwork, she creates compositions that radiate immediacy and intensity, transforming spontaneous impulses into works of striking presence and depth.
Her artistic process is rooted in a sense of inner freedom - a direct, intuitive engagement with the canvas that allows each piece to unfold organically. The resulting paintings carry a strong sensory charge: vivid, tactile and emotionally resonant. They reflect her understanding of art as a vehicle for authenticity and a medium through which inner states become visible.
Reitinger studied at the University of Art and Design Linz, received a scholarship from Hermann Nitsch, and expanded her practice in the field of Aktionskunst. This influence deepened her commitment to a performative, physical approach to painting - one in which movement, presence and intensity become central components of the work.
Today, she works independently between Austria and Italy. Collectors are drawn to the raw vitality and emotional power of her work, which brings a compelling dynamism to contemporary painting.

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.
