About
Hi my name is Astrid Verplancke. I am a Belgian illustrator based in Sint Eloois Vijve.
​
My work has an earthy character and focuses on figures, hands, and gestures. I have a deep love for imperfect beauty, craftsmanship, and color. I translate my poetic imagination into expressive images in which I search for a symbiosis of extremes: strength and vulnerability, large figures engaged in small, intimate actions, fragile lines alongside rough brushstrokes.
The images build up in layers. The process is partly intuitive and partly controlled. This is a play of creation in which I experience a great sense of freedom.
​
I work as an illustrator, graphic designer and painter.
