Women have been at the center of art for centuries, both as subjects and as muses. Viewed through the male gaze, they were seen as objects of beauty and desire.

In the 21st century, contemporary female artists have had the chance to portray a different reality, from their perspective. Modern art offers women the chance to tell their own stories through the power of creation.

These unique paintings of women, by women, show their lives in a new light. They’re the main focus of these self-portraits, portraits, and scenes of everyday life. Through this collection, original artworks by our award-winning artists give us the opportunity to explore how women see each other, as well as themselves.
