" Her artistic practice is always intuitive, dynamic and defined by powerful, spontaneous gestures with which she brings her emotions and feelings to the canvas without hesitation or deliberation. With rough, uninhibited brushstrokes, by carving, rubbing, discarding and rebuilding, she creates a unique tension in each of her paintings. The emotions she captures in them are not necessarily her own, but often expressions of empathy. Astrid Van den Bosch’s works convey a calm yet strong presence. They are an expression of her constant search for ways to depict inner states that defy concrete form. Despite her dynamic artistic process, she manages to create harmonious, reduced and meditative works."
