Women have always played a vital role in art, yet their contributions were often overlooked or underrepresented. This month highlights women in art today and recognises the impact, expertise and perspectives they bring to the creative world.
Globally, fewer than five percent of artworks in major museums are by women. Yet one of the most groundbreaking revolutions in modern art was quietly led by a woman far from the usual avant-garde circles. Long before Kandinsky or Mondrian explored abstraction, Hilma af Klint was creating the first truly abstract paintings. She reshaped the future of art and then, astonishingly, kept her work hidden.

Acrylic: a medium for bold voices
Acrylic paint has transformed modern art, giving artists the freedom to experiment and express themselves. For women, it became a powerful tool to innovate and assert their creative voices in a male-dominated field. Over generations, female artists have used acrylics to shape painting in bold, original ways.
