Brief Biography
Martina Hartusch is a distinguished Austrian artist based in Graz, known for her abstract creations using high-quality acrylic paints and natural pigments. Her fascination with structure and tactile elements leads her to incorporate materials such as sand, paper, and various collage components into her mixed media techniques. This approach gives her artwork a distinctive and unique style.
Her pieces are categorized into different series based on the materials used:
C-series (Color-series): Acrylic paint on canvas.
SC-series (Structure and Color-series): Mixed media on canvas.
SMC-series (Structure-MonoColor-series): Mixed media with a primary focus on one color.
While predominantly abstract, Martina also explores realism, particularly in landscapes, with her seaside paintings being notably acclaimed by art critics. Her work "SC_57_‘The Supreme Good is Harmony of the Soul’" was a finalist at the Global Art Award 2020 in Shanghai. Martina has also been recognized with several quality certificates and honorable mentions for various artworks, such as "SC_92_Tortuga" and "MC_3_Through Discipline Comes Freedom."
Martina draws her primary inspiration from nature, and even her abstract works echo natural phenomena.

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.
