Lisa has created two new works of art inspired by Bitcoin which will show at the world´s largest Bitcoin fair in Miami in May.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
”The new gold"
In a global time of recession, transparency, is putting pressure on everyone’s choices for competitive advantage in investments a challenge. Instead, it’s time to utilize the everlasting secure sources of economic stability, gold and bitcoin, to blend in. Creating a better chance of financial survival inspired by the master of camouflage, the Octopus.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
”The Birth”
The True Meaning Behind Bitcoin
Captured in the Genesis Block by Satoshi Nakamoto
On January 3, 2009 the first event on the Bitcoin block chain occurred. Its founder placed an important notation indicating the intent behind what he had just created. The London Times ran a cover story entitled “Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks”. This title was quoted and embedded into the very first transaction ever to be included in the new Bitcoin block chain, by Satoshi Nakamoto. The block containing this transaction was called The Genesis Block.

"The three wise monkeys"
The work ”The three wise monkeys” symbolize the classic three monkeys and the phrase see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. Lisa has interpreted it for the stock market and the way business sometimes works around the world.

Eklund Stockholm New York
"Unique collaboration"
Lisa has created two new works of art inspired by the founders and owners of Swedens most exclusive real estate company - Eklund Stockholm New York - Fredrik Eklund and Niklas Berntzon.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
”The Champion”
This celebrity broker, Fredrik Eklund has always had a hunting instinct for selling the most exclusive homes in both New York and Los Angeles. Lisa has chosen to draw the leopard, which is one of the world's foremost hunters. When the leopard hunts, it relies on its keenness - both hearing and sight and is always on the lookout for prey. The leopard, unlike other felines, is a solitary animal and hunts alone. The leopard is fast and can reach up to 60 km/h. It likes to pull its prey up a tree. This behavior may seem somewhat circumstantial, but it has its explanation. The leopard simply wants its prey for itself and hides it from other "free eaters" who like to take a bite.

The story behind
"I select topics from different newspapers and create eccentric artworks that are linked to the topic"
says Lisa Törner"
Lisa Törner lives and works in Stockholm and she practically grew up in an artist's studio. It is her father, the potter and illustrator Bernt Törner who inspired and encouraged her to paint already as a child.
Lisa has a unique design technique combining historic financial events and communicating that message via animals sketched and painted directly on financial press.
