Meet the Artist

Astrid Blumer

Astrid Blumer is a visual artist and illustrator whose work reflects on the convergence of the natural world and feminine energy. Working from her Kommetjie studio, she creates imagined botanicals and symbolic forms using layered brushwork, detailed mark-making, and a rich yet soft colour palette.

Her pieces feature recurring motifs such as vessels (which represent the womb and a place of potential), and flowing floral forms, the sun, and the moon (which speak to transformation, growth, and the quiet rituals of life). Astrid’s art is rooted in organic movement and emotional resonance, aimed not at replicating nature but at imagining what could grow in a parallel inner landscape.
