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
In my artistic work, I explore emotional states, inner transitions and the quiet force of organic processes, allowing everything to flow that wants to flow and emerge. Frozen surfaces, floral structures, water, mist and fragile textures serve as symbols of human phases of life.
I am particularly interested in the moment when something appears externally frozen, while beneath the surface movement, growth and life continue to exist. My works address vulnerability, withdrawal, transformation and the subtle tension between stillness, inner development and outward change that may not be immediately visible in the moment.
Through multilayered applications of colour, transparent layers and atmospheric structures, pictorial spaces emerge between representation and dissolution. I combine influences from nature with emotional perception and inner experience.
My background in scenic painting shapes my understanding of space, light, materiality, quality and atmosphere. Working with different techniques and materials is an essential part of my artistic process. I am interested in the continuous development of my visual language and in experimenting with surfaces, structures and new forms of expression.
I understand my works as quiet pictorial worlds in which fragility and strength exist simultaneously — as a reminder that even in seemingly frozen states, life remains hidden beneath the surface.
