Nicola Hackl-Haslinger was born in 1974 in Linz, Austria. The artist lives and works in Gramastetten, Upper Austria.
Her artistic practice combines photography, digital image processing, and sophisticated printing techniques such as pigment printing with gold leaf or palladium on Hahnemühle paper. The central design element is light, which she uses in dreamy, tranquil pictorial spaces that hover between reality and imagination. For her, nature is not only a motif, but also a resonance chamber in which external landscapes and internal states flow into one another.
Her works have been presented nationally and internationally, including at the Klimt Center Attersee in Schörfling, the Lentos Art Museum in Linz, and the AIPAD Photography Show in New York, and are represented in important collections. She has received nominations for the St. Leopold Peace Prize and awards such as the Maine Media Scholarship Award.
