LA GALLERIA ART & DESIGN

Cornelia Hagmann was born and raised in Austria.

During her youth she studied with the renowned austrian painter Luise Jehly. The use of colour and various forms of design still remain her passion today. Using her artistic talents, she decided on a career as stylist, make-up and theatrical makeup artist.

Her artistic ability became quickly appearant while working in the theatre, fashion and film production industry. With her professional experiences and skills she completed her career, as a cooperating team leader for the research department of the Wella Group.

The passion for art is rooted in the family of her grandmother. It seems that she inherited her talent from her great aunt, the well respected painter Babette Wagner. During several trips to Canada she had the opportunity to visit the Ontario Gallery of Art. Inspired by the Group of Seven Paintings, she created her works depicting the Canadian landscapes.

In addition to continuing her studies at Art College in Zurich, her artistic development is influenced by her frequent travel abroad. During an educational trip to Florence, Hagmann gained more insight into the history and technology of mineral and oil paints at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci.
Since 2004, her paintings are displayed in the Zurich region and in Engadin, as well as in her studio in Ticino/Tessin.

Hagmann creates figurative paintings in acrylic, watercolor, and oil.

“Dear Art-Friend

A lot is written about art, and it means something different to each and every one of us. In this column, I would like to share a few of my thoughts on art with you and introduce you to my work.

Working creatively with art is and always has been part of my personal evolution. My talent, and hence my enthusiasm for experimenting with colours and new techniques, are my engine. Art is a language that wants to be understood – and it has many guises. It can sometimes be provocative and at other times conform. It is a barometer, a mirror showing us how we feel, what we wish for, but also what we don’t want to see. It can create positive or negative tension, it can play with us, move us and shake us up – yet, as a rule, it almost always encapsulates the spirit of the age.

Pictures are sometimes with us all our lives and remain more strongly ensconced in our memories than any other sensory experience. Pictures govern our sense of wellbeing more forcefully than scents, sounds or tastes, with our eyes deciding in a matter of seconds whether we like or dislike what we see every day.

Purchasing paintings is first and foremost a passion; it makes us happy but is also a challenge – and always a cultural delight. Those who contemplate and procure art are investing in their own quality of life and personal development.

The ‚value‘ of the image is secondary. The paintings I have created are designed to awaken the desire to discover your own individuality and to boost your enjoyment of life. They should be affordable for everybody who likes them and is interested in art. My works of art should effuse a sense of comfort, which is lacking in our modern age with its permanent flurry of activity. They are there to give you pleasure and a feeling of happiness.”
