Marga
Baigorria was born in Argentina where, since her
childhood, she received a distinctly artistic
education, beginning with ballet and continuing
on to plastic arts, opera and theatre.
She gained a diploma in painting from the
Academy of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires where her
exhibitions of oil paintings were successfully
received by the local critics.
She has studied with renowned Argentine teachers
such as Luis Barragán, Aníbal Carreño and Reina
Kochashian, among others.
At the same time, she studied philosophy and
Eastern and Western comparative religions, an
experience which considerably changed her vision
of art, especially when she came into contact
with those cultures which have a sacred idea of
the origin of Art and of its significance for
the life of a man.
In 1973 she moved to Europe and founded the
Planetarium of Arts in Venice, in which she
directed the Visual Arts department, developing
an intense didactic activity related to various
pictorial and craft techniques.
She taught three year courses of “Eucromy” (Beauty
and the Essence of Colour/Light), in which the
executive, creative and therapeutic powers of
colour all synchronise, stimulating the point of
interior balance which leads us to elevated
planes of conscience and, consequently, to
artistic expression.
Her creativity, expressed in exhibitions and
through intense investigation, has converged in
what she has called “Painting with Light” and in
a series of Watercolours.
She is the co-founder of the International
Academy of Euphony, with centres in Switzerland
and other European and American venues, where
the world of Sound and Music is related to her
experience in Colour and in innovative artistic
creation.
