A self-taught French painter, Astrid Link chose in 2012 to follow her artistic calling, leaving her career as a lawyer in a Paris law firm to reconnect with her childhood passion: painting.

​

Driven by a deep desire to learn and explore, she trained over the years in various studios in Paris and Lyon, refining her practice of drawing, watercolour, acrylic, and oil painting. This demanding journey reflects her constant pursuit of technical mastery and a broader artistic vision.

​

In 2016, she moved to Munich. After selling her first works and creating several portraits of children in motion, she began exhibiting her paintings, registered as an independent artist in 2019, and joined a Munich gallery.

​

Initially figurative and almost photographic, her work gradually evolved towards a more abstract, free, and intuitive expression. Refusing to confine herself to a single style, Astrid Link explores colour as a fundamental language. Inspired by Nicolas de Staël, she seeks chromatic harmonies in dialogue with simplified forms, where reduction itself becomes a source of emotion.

​

Always curious and eager to experiment, she enjoys embarking on new artistic adventures. In her exhibition P(art)fum, she takes on the challenge of translating the olfactory universe into painting. This project will culminate in an exhibition in May 2025 at Maison DIVINE, Rue de Rivoli in Paris — a series of paintings inspired by the brand’s perfumes. This unprecedented sensory experience reflects her desire to make colour converse with the other senses and to push the boundaries of perception.

​

Convinced that art is above all a space for encounter and sharing, Astrid Link regularly takes part in solo and group exhibitions in Munich and Paris. She also develops cultural mediation projects — such as Audace et Lumière and Comme un poisson dans l’eau — combining painting, writing, free dance, and hands-on creativity. These initiatives embody her deep conviction that art connects disciplines, sensitivities, and people.
