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.
