According to the National Museum of Women in the Arts, 51 per cent of visual artists today are women. But when it comes to exhibitions and gallery representation, the numbers tell a less optimistic story. In London, for example, 78 per cent of the galleries represent more men than women, while only 5 per cent represent an equal number of male and female artists.

Harumi Hironaka is a Peruvian-Japanese painter and illustrator currently living and working in Sao Paulo.

She lived her teenage years in Japan, where she was influenced by Anime and Manga: ¨that’s how it all started.

I wanted to become a manga artist¨.

Paul writes:

'Art and artists bring beauty into a, sometimes, ugly world, highlight all aspects of the human experience, shine a light on dark topics and showcase the creative experience. Art can be be beautiful, thought-provoking, challenging, disturbing and awe-inspiring and has the ability to create positive societal change.

It is our intention to, predominantly, feature female artists, and showcase artists that we admire and to reinvest all profits into expanding the artistic experience. I, personally, believe there is still a gender inequality within the art world with women artists being under represented and we at the gallery are determined to help redress the balance not because they are women per se but because creative talent has no gender .

Support women in art and women artists!!'
