Eva Lindström (2014)

Eva Lindström (born 1952) is a Swedish illustrator and author. Her work is known for its humorous and dark style.[1]

Life

[edit]

Lindström was born in Västerås in 1952. She attended the art school Konstfack in Stockholm from 1969 to 1974, where she studied painting and was part of a radical political activist group.[1] The origin of her more radical and dark art style is attributed to this time period.[1][2] She began her career in the 1980s as a cartoonist.[3] Her first book was Kattmössan (The Cat Hat), which she wrote and illustrated.[2] In 1996, she published her second book Lurix.[2] She is known for her children's books, such as Berättesler om Mats Och Roj (Somebody Moves In—Stories About Mats and Roj) (2002) and Olli Och Mo (Olli and Mo) (2012).[2]

Style

[edit]

Lindström's illustrations are often created using watercolor with gouache or pencil.[3] The Nordic Council Children and Young People's Literature Prize nomination text described her work as "often funny and clever as well as having an existential depth."[4]
