Brief Biography & Artistic Journey
Rhea Standke, born 1972 in Dresden, paints the world in which she wants to live.
Her works emerge from the microcosm of flowers: three-dimensional, baroque, ecstatic formations that seem to escape the material world. They dissolve past and future, unfolding in an infinite space of the present.
Between fullness and emptiness, her paintings create euphoric cosmic structures – images of light and limitless existence. Out of the sea of time arises a creator, shaping infinite moments beyond day and night, beginning and end.

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.
Artist Statement
“I paint the world in which I want to live.”
From floral microcosms arise new, baroque and ecstatic formations that free themselves from temporal boundaries. In my work I strive to create euphoric images of cosmic structures where light becomes the center of limitless existence.
