Lucía Hagerman [b. 1998], also known as Luz Hagerman, is a young Mexican artist who aims to express the intense process of accepting one‘s own darkness through the purity and improvisation with which she paints. Her work revolves around self-criticism, critical frustration, anger, fear, compassion, liberation, persistence, self-understanding, and healing. Her diverse and unconventional, chaotic - yet harmonious - unfiltered, and often ironic, offers a glimpse into the artistic and emotional process she has experienced in recent years. She creates to understand herself.
Her work THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION (2020) caught the attention of the globally renowned film director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, who used one of her 2.20 x 0.90 m paintings in his upcoming film "Limbo".
In 2018, she was offered the opportunity to produce and exhibit her ephemeral installation POST TENEBRAS-LUX at her university, after receiving an award for Best Conceptual Installation by the institution.
She now leverages her journey of self-exploration and experimentation, using it as a creative source for the extensive multi-genre artistic work she is currently engaged in. It involves using coherence between contrasts: chaotic compositions with harmonic elements, harmonic compositions with chaotic elements, synthetic materials on natural backgrounds, etc.
