You are immediately drawn under its spell...
"The first time you look at a work by Anja Hagemann, you are immediately captivated by her abstract and colorful universe. The vibrant hues and the joy radiating from them entice you to want to find out more about her art. Anja's abstraction is flowing and light, oscillating between soft, sparkling clouds and dense fields of color.
The plant imprints provide a figurative element for the mind to latch onto before losing itself in the vibrant, colorful swirls of her work. In her peaceful works, nature reveals itself through ramifications and unfolds over the entire surface.
The vegetation permeates the background. The colorful fern prints lend the works relief and depth. Everything here revolves around lightness and balance."

From light to darkness : Anja Hagemann's artistic evolution
"A melting pot of influences
Anja Hagemann combines the best of many worlds in her art. Her works are an explosion of the raw vitality of German Expressionism, the luminous colorfulness of French Fauvism and the lyrical harmony of the Nabis. Her journey began at the renowned Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Here she learned from Abraham Pincas how to create precious colors with pigments. Jean-François Debora taught her anatomy and helped her to understand balance and tension in the human body.
Between shadow and light
Initially, her works were characterized by deep colour and intense vibrancy. They tell of the wounds to our souls. Growing up in a toxic environment, she courageously faced her inner demons. Isn't it precisely these shadows that give her paintings their incredible power and joie de vivre? "You have to know the darkness to appreciate the light," she often thought."
Vanessa Vuichard, art collector, March 2020

The collages fascinate through the interaction of shiny and matt surfaces. Unexpected structures emerge and create sculptural effects on the canvas.
The visual encounter with the unexpected invites us to welcome change. Under the motto "What would love do?", these works inspire and promote a positive attitude towards change. A new perspective emerges, full of creativity and dynamism.
