Bo Cronqvist
I work in a printing studio of my own in Lund. I work with three or four colour aquatint etchings printed from three or four copper plates. I also work with oil paintings, mostly in traditional glazing techniques. The etchings often depicting single objects in a landscape, my paintings mostly representing human beings.
