Astrid Lans
To paint is my way to deal with adulthood, to pause and remind myself not to take things too seriously. Thanks to my Mother I grew up with creative materials all around me and the freedom to experiment and explore in any direction I wanted. My creative roots are deep and Life is my teacher. I mainly work with gouache, watercolour and ink on heavyweight paper. Most of my inspiration comes from Womanhood, Swedish folklore and artists like Mårten Andersson, Emma Larsson, Tina Berning and Adébayo Bolaji. I work from our home in North Cornwall, UK. “Prusts Farmhouse” is my family’s life project. Here I live creatively and remotely with my partner and our two kids. After an international career in Consumer Relationship Marketing and Market Research I began showing my paintings to the public eye in 2020.
