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 Vision & Goals
My vision is to bridge cultural divides through art, fostering global unity and understanding. I believe in the transformative power of creativity to inspire change and bring people together. My artwork aims to reflect diverse perspectives, encouraging dialogue and mutual respect. By participating in international exhibitions and earning prestigious awards, I strive to create a platform that celebrates cultural richness and artistic excellence. My commitment to artistic innovation and cultural representation is steadfast, as I continue to explore new forms of expression and connect with audiences worldwide. Through my art, I hope to make a positive impact, promoting peace and understanding in our increasingly interconnected world. As I always say, "Art is my weapon against human indifference and offers new ways to view the world."
