Astrid Rothaug

* 1996, Austria

Lives and works in Vienna

From 2014, studies at the department graphics and printmaking at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna. In 2018, she studied painting at the FBAUL Lisbon as part of an Erasmus-scholarship. For her diploma project PUZZLING she received the „Förderungspreis des Landes Niederösterreich“. After her studies, she started working as an independent artist in the field of printmaking, drawing, painting, writing and the production of animated short films. In 2022 she was recipient of the AIR Niederösterreich grant for an artist resicency in Westport, Ireland, and spent a month working on linocuts and etchings. All of her works are inspired by her intermediary approach, allowing the different techniques to influence each new project in order to gain an outcome which is, at least to some extent, unexpected. Her independent films such as METANOIA, SWALLOWED and THE MISSING SPOTS have received national and international awards, among them the „Hubert Sielecki Preis“, the „Austrian Indie Adler“ and the „Landshuter Kinderfilmpreis“.
