Hilde Möhring is a renowned graphic designer, born on March 31, 1942 in Arnhem. Trained at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. Immediately after completion in 1965, a successful career as an artist started.
Hilde Möhring's works have found their way to exhibitions at home and abroad (including Poland, Germany, Belgium, Scotland, Norway, Romania, an official exchange with Valjevo, Indonesia, Paris and Tokyo). In the 1970s and 1990s, Hilde regularly made prints for national and international companies, including DSM, KNP, Unilever, the Municipality of Maastricht, Royal Haskoning, Stadsschouwburg Sittard, Unilever Rotterdam, ING Bank and Maastricht Airport. Prints were purchased by the Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Social Work, the Municipality of Sittard commissioned a 10-metre-long Plexiglas wall, and several works were purchased by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht.
Recurring subjects in Möhring's works are landscapes, houses, harbors and buildings. She draws inspiration from her immediate surroundings – at home or while travelling. She traveled to Scandinavia, Spitsbergen, Russia, the Balkan countries, Spain and Brittany. Travels of which sooner or later something always appeared in her work. Hilde Möhring often chooses details of a ship's bow or an aircraft, which she enlarges to pure strength. A no-nonsense realism, full of graphic simplifications that make it artistically strong and recognizable as a 'Möhring'.
