Art statement
Astrid’s art is her visual journal, capturing life's moments as chapters. Her love for organic mark making in an abstract expressionistic style is a form of somatic healing, transferring emotions from mind to canvas. Exploring her neurodivergence through art marking, Astrid's intuitive process lifts the weight of expectations, tapping into her instinctual voice. Her work invites viewers to experience the visceral expression of hidden thoughts, drawing curiosity. Each piece is an energetic experiment, embracing uncertainties with courage for growth. Through art, Astrid communicates deeper emotions where words fall short.
