Astrid Buchhammer is a contemporary painter based in Berlin.After spending several years living in Canada and Oregon, she returned to Germany in 2017 and has since deepened her commitment to painting. Her experiences abroad, together with her life back in Berlin, inform a body of work that explores atmosphere, memory,and the quiet drama of everyday moments. Her work has been featured in Issue 11 of  the international art magazine Arts to Hearts Magazine,and she has also been selected by the jury for inclusion in the upcoming Arts to Heart Studio Book. Buchhammer  works mainly with oils and acrylics on canvas, creating layered, intimate images that invite viewers to linger and connect with their own memories and emotions.

Artist statement

​​​​​​​In my paintings, I try to hold on to a single moment in time - feeling of a place, or a small everyday scene just before it changes. I am interested in how memory and emotions shape what we see and how a painting can become a quiet space to pause and reflect.
