Eva Boström - prints and biography

Biography

Eva Boström (b. 1954, Stockholm, Sweden) is a painter and printmaker whose art reflects both a deep sensual appreciation of the natural world and a lively sense of humor. Working primarily in painting and lithography, Boström creates images that balance wit and playfulness with technical precision. Her works invite viewers to experience joy, lightness, and imagination, often pushing them to reconsider the ordinary through her spirited lens.

Boström describes her creative approach as one rooted in humor, sensualism, and a touch of irreverence. She believes art should engage its audience emotionally and visually, encouraging delight as well as reflection. This philosophy is evident across her body of work, which ranges from whimsical compositions to meticulously rendered images that blur the line between reality and fantasy.

One of her most celebrated series is a collection of prints featuring hyper-realistic depictions of fruit. These works showcase her technical mastery while also embracing her love of humor and exaggeration. The fruit, magnified and saturated with vibrant detail, becomes both an object of sensual pleasure and a playful commentary on perception. In these prints, Boström elevates everyday subjects into dazzling icons of color and form.

Her influences include the bold imagery and irreverent wit of 1960s Pop Art, particularly figures like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, whose ability to combine high art with popular culture continues to inspire her. Yet Boström’s style is uniquely her own, merging Swedish sensibility with international currents of modern art.

Throughout her career, Boström has exhibited in Sweden and internationally, building a reputation for works that are simultaneously accessible and sophisticated. Whether through her humorous approach, her playful exaggerations, or her finely crafted lithographs, she has established herself as an artist committed to making art that is engaging, joyous, and imaginative.
