Artistic Journey
Brigitte Merk | Award-Winning Austrian Artist
Art for Inspired Interiors
Brigitte Merk’s work radiates poetic elegance, shimmering with peace, joy, and a celebration of life. Rooted in the rich tradition of Viennese Art Nouveau and shaped by her early studies of modern art in Paris, her compositions fuse vibrant color, harmony, and striking contrasts. Critics have described her art as “elegant and poetic”—a visual dialogue reflecting the divine essence of humanity.
Her artistic journey spans more than 50 years and over 120 international exhibitions across four continents, including prominent venues in Vienna, Paris, New York, Shanghai, and Tel Aviv. Represented for 15 years by a Parisian gallery, Brigitte's body of work includes abstract compositions, expressive landscapes, exotic animal scenes, and kinetic forms, exploring cubism, abstraction, and movement.
A creative force from an early age, she won first prize at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 1962. After a pause to raise her family, she returned to painting in 1996, mastering aquarelle and oil techniques under renowned mentors. Her stylistic evolution—from early oil chalks to abstract gardens and, later, to fantastical acrylic worlds—embodies a fearless exploration of life and emotion through form and color.
Today, Brigitte continues to inspire with her “Artful Lines” series, integrating black-and-white illustration with bursts of expressive color—artworks that evoke both serenity and vitality, inviting viewers into a timeless space of reflection and imagination.
“Distilled over decades of artistic exploration, my work invites rest, rejuvenation, and the joy of life.”

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.
