Collection: Einar Sigstad

Einar Sigstads conscious use of the wood's own structure is often a hallmark of his graphics. The motifs range from nature scenes to more humorous and socially critical images. He has also made a strong mark as a painter and received a lot of attention for his distinctive figurative motifs.
