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.

Artistic Statement


My work emerges from the expressive possibilities of stained glass, where light becomes both material and meaning. I combine hand-crafted glass, lead structures and LED illumination to create portraits and abstract forms that reflect emotional states, inner tension and personal transformation.


The transparency and fragility of glass mirror the complexity of human experience, while illuminated surfaces reveal layers of gesture, memory and quiet resilience.


Through this medium, I explore the space between vulnerability and strength, inviting the viewer into an intimate and contemplative encounter with light.
