Brief Biography | Artistic Journey
Carmina Velasco, born in La Paz, Bolivia, currently lives and works in Nuremberg, Germany. She completed her artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg under Professor R.G. Dienst, graduating as a master student. As a scholarship recipient, she also studied abroad at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland. Her paintings are classified under Magical Realism, drawing from the mythologies and folklore of Bolivia as well as European art history and symbolism. Her profound, almost spiritual portrayals of protectors, radiant beings, and themes of faith and superstition are exhibited and collected internationally. Velasco continually seeks new ways to express visions and create a universally understandable visual language. Her paintings establish a meta-level between fantasy and reality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a fabulous dream world. Velasco's works are featured in international exhibitions and private collections. “Her artistic work does not follow trends but develops its own mode of expression that combines symbolic narratives and iconic imagery,” as noted in a recent television feature by ARD/BR. Her works have been showcased in major art fairs and galleries across Europe and South America.

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 Statement by Carmina Velasco
My artworks explore the complex relationships between humans and nature, faith and superstition, as well as the real and the surreal. I often adopt the perspective of a storyteller who values the profound, the absurd, and the fantastical. My paintings create narrative spaces brought to life through surreal elements and vivid colors in a theatrical setting.
The inspiration for my work comes from ancient mythologies, personal experiences, and universal themes. By using symbolic imagery and mystical narratives, I aim to convey deep messages in a poetic manner. My artworks invite the viewer to enter a world of contemplation.
They serve as reminders, consistently bringing the viewer back to positive life messages. The powerful symbolism of my images is intended to create an atmosphere of tranquility, happiness, and insight.
My ultimate goal is to create artworks that convey universal and timeless messages, engaging the viewer both emotionally and intellectually.
