Agneta Söderqvist

Agneta Söderqvist’s painting has a strongly expressive expression which, with its thick layers of oil paint, sometimes has a three-dimensional effect. With a sensitive color and subtle nuances in the color, she conjures evocative poetic images of nature, houses, and figures. She debuted at gallery Doktor Glas in Stockholm in 1998.
