Luba Kladienko-Ramirez has been immersed into the art world since childhood, growing up in an art collector family is where her first admiration in collecting and dealing began. So naturally, since art has been a part of her everyday life, she chose to continue following that path, as an artist liaison and dealer.
​
Luba wanted to build a company that not only focused on profit, but on helping others as well, so ArtToSaveLives has been simultaneously funding her private animal rescue mission, hence the name.
​
Kladienko-Ramirez has been active in the art community since 2006, first with a home-based gallery in the suburbs of New York and then rebranding to ArtToSaveLives Contemporary  and becoming an official retail gallery in 2018, upon relocating to south Florida. Arduously participating in many cultural events from gallery shows, museum exhibitions to art fairs,  under organizations such as MoMA PS1 (when it began as an invite only online platform) to NSU Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale, Red Dot, Aqua Art Fair, The Coral Gables Museum and Adrienne Arsht Center, Scope Art Fair to name a few. Luba ultimately envisions ArtToSaveLives to be a global brand for good where culture and saving lives go hand in hand, as it has always been since she began selling art in her late teens/early twenties.


About our house Artist
JuanCarlos rLora is an elusive individual who values and lives his life through imagination first, then reality second… A focused creative, who never knew he was an artist, until life convinced him of it. And whom in his young life, has proven himself as an artist that goes against the grain, to explore, create and innovate. He never discloses heritage or any information pertaining to the self as a protest to humanity's current destructive ways.
JuanCarlos has been trained throughout his young life by Dominican Master artist Candido Bido's School of Visual Arts and mentored in adulthood by Turkish Master artist and poet Aquiles Azar.
ArtToSaveLives Contemporary is the gallery that manages JuanCarlos rLora's work since the very beginning. It is with his work that the gallery has been able to fund their animal rescue mission for almost two decades. 
​
"I am proud to be a part of an organization that saves animals
and I am happy to say we donate 80% of our art sales to fund our beloved shelter!" 
~JuanCarlos
His mind never sleeps, so he never stops creating. His art stories touch on the surreal, the theoretical, the belief that impossible things can become possible, and the strength to fight for what's right - "to protect the secrets of existence, not because of any doctrine dictates, but because the proof is in how incredibly beautiful the Universe is and although our time is finite, we should selflessly attempt to preserve this incredible, intricate and enigmatic energy that helps us all be."  
When most rest, he works, builds, destroys, explores; his mind races untamed, he suffers our apathy, but he cannot stop, will not give up the fight to assist the collective humanity in reaching the only one thing that can save us - LOVE. 
But don't take my word for it, come see for yourself!

Luba Kladienko-Ramirez
Founder - ArtToSaveLives Contemporary

Diagnosed with Hyperactivity as a child, JuanCarlos has used this to his advantage when it comes to his work. He uses art for storytelling, having created a very large and diverse amount of work that spans across years in parallel story narratives, where most, if not all, are always held by an underlying story or a message that is the same - "Strive for benevolence, have love for our home, Earth, and have love for each other so we can become better as a species, because we need to."

“I generally approach art as if conducting an experiment. I like having no parameters when it comes to creating....
​I feel like I am constantly navigating the cosmos of imagination and I love it!”
~JuanCarlos
