After her training at the Academy of Visual Arts Maastricht, she followed a year of philosophy at the RU Utrecht. A few years later, she studied art, media and technology in Hilversum, followed by a master's degree at the art academy in Breda. Since 2000 she has been working in Rotterdam.
Astrid Moors makes drawings, large paintings with acrylics on canvas, interactive animations and combinations of the three.
What we see are isolated anecdotes, universal states of mind; subtly poetic, introverted and hushed. The works have a graphic approach in their interplay of lines and use of colour. The rhythm of repeated forms reinforces a detached stillness. Is there boredom or pointlessness? Killing time or (almost) entering into confrontation?
Work by Astrid Moors is included in collections by DELA, FNV, CBK, KvK and private individuals, among others. At the beginning of 2015 she had a major retrospective in the Rotterdam District Court, with paintings from the past 20 years.
