About

   Lucía Hagerman [b. 1998] is a vibrant young artist from Mexico who fully embraces her identity as a free spirit, thriving on retro culture and adventure. Lucía believes her paintings serve as portals to alternate realms or windows into fragments of her many adventures around the world, providing a form of liberation from the complexities of life’s dilemmas and paradoxes.

 

   Her work celebrates the beauty within chaos and imperfection through the sheer purity and spontaneity of her painting process. It revolves around self-understanding, frustration, anger, fear, compassion, release, persistence, and healing. Her diverse, nonsensical, and chaotic—yet harmonious—work is unfiltered and often ironic, offering a glimpse into the highly confrontational emotional and artistic processes that run parallel and intersect.

 

   The interplay of construction and deconstruction is central to her approach; she believes that the end of one piece gives birth to another, mirroring the interconnectedness of life and death. Each painting is a culmination of countless iterations, resulting in the union of dualities—an acceptance that life encompasses both.
