Astrid Rothaug is an author and visual artist based in Vienna.
Born 1996 in Vienna, she spent her childhood in lower Austria and moved to Vienna in 2014 for her studies at Die Angewandte, department graphics and printmaking.

The videos produced by the students were presented at the Austrian Embassy in London. In 2018 she received an erasmus scholarship at the FBAUL, Faculdade das Belas Artes Lisboa, where she attended classes in painting and illustration. In 2019 she finished her studies at Die Angewandte with honours. For her diploma show "PUZZLING", she was awarded the "Förderpreis des Landes Niederösterreich". In 2019 she received a scholarship for the workshop "drawn forms" by Massinissa Selmani at the summer academy, Salzburg.
