Astrid Barfod
Uruguay, 1960
Biography
Astrid Barfod (known online as Suequi Natt) is a Uruguayan artist born to Swedish parents. She trained under prominent figures such as Clever Lara and Dante Picarelli, beginning her practice with a focus on the human figure and a deep curiosity for the inner workings of the mind.
Over time, her work evolved toward abstraction – a shift that opened space for a more personal language, one that transcends form to engage with memory, emotion, and the symbolic. Through mixed media techniques that include acrylic, ink, oil, and collage, her compositions construct a psychological landscape: layered, intuitive, and quietly intense.
Barfod’s practice inhabits the tension between order and chaos, structure and spontaneity. Her paintings do not seek to explain but to reveal – suggesting rather than declaring, and inviting the viewer into a deeper, more reflective gaze.
