ArtToSaveLives Contemporary

Luba Kladienko-Ramirez has been immersed into the art world since childhood, growing up in an art collector family. Her mother is an art aficionado and collector of ceramics and that’s 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, which brings her now to having her own art Gallery - ArtToSaveLives Contemporary.

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.

ArtToSaveLives Contemporary has been active in the art community for over 20 years in New York and now recently Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Arduously participating in many cultural events, from gallery shows to museum exhibitions to Art Fairs. Under organizations such as MoMA PS1 (when it began as an invite only online platform) to NSU Museum in Fort Lauderdale, Red Dot, Aqua Art Fair, The Coral Gables Museum and Adrienne Arsht Center to name a few. Luba ultimately envisions ArtToSaveLives to be a global organization, of galleries and culture centers around the world with their flagship museum located in North America.

ArtToSaveLives Contemporary is the gallery that manages JuanCarlos rLora's work.

The ArtToSaveLives Contemporary is not in any way a conventional art gallery, it is more of an artist studio that gets tastefully curated in the style of a gallery, each month, by Luba Kladienko-Ramirez. We showcase JuanCarlos’ extensive body of work, from paintings, to sculptures, to light installations and many other incredible inventions and experimentations. Think of it as a playground for our artist’s work. Here, the atmosphere is more like a lounge for art collectors and art lovers. You come by once, we welcome you as our friend, you collect our work and you become family. See you soon!

JuanCarlos rLora is an elusive individual who values and lives his life through imagination first, then reality second… A high caliber painter, who never knew he was an artist, until art 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.

"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
