Magdalena Herzog (*1995 in Salzburg) is an Austrian painter who currently resides and works in Linz, Austria.
After completing the Masterclass for Painting with Klaus Schuster at the Ortweinschule in Graz, she is currently studying Fine Arts, Painting at the University of Arts in Linz under the guidance of Professor Ursula Hübner.
Her medium of choice is painting and drawing, through which she captures moments of stillness, intimacy, and relationships.
A central theme in her work is the experience of womanhood and its associated perspectives.
Her unique use of colors, which draws inspiration from her personal experiences and memories, is a defining feature of her art.
A female gaze is a series of works in which I have been dealing with the topic of "being looked at" and "observed" in the context of bathing and swimming in public spaces as a female read person and the experience of learning to describe your body through the gaze of others.
