Let\u2019s know more about Marit T\u00f6rnqvist<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Marit<\/a>Marit T\u00f6rnqvist was born in Uppsala, Sweden in 1964. When she was five she moved to the Netherlands with her Dutch mother, Swedish father and her brother and sister.<\/p>\n

From 1982 to 1987, she studied illustration at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, where her talent and unique style made an immediate impression.<\/p>\n

In Sweden, she was asked to illustrate Astrid Lindgren\u2019s work and so she gained a large audience outside the Netherlands and Flanders too. The press has described her work as \u201cimpressive and timeless\u201d, \u201ctechnically astonishing\u201d, \u201ccolourful, layered and full of emotion\u201d and as \u201ca personal universe\u201d. There are indeed many highlights in Marit T\u00f6rnqvist\u2019s oeuvre. Her illustrations reveal a great sensitivity to what goes on in the minds of young children. The door to childhood seems to have remained wide open for T\u00f6rnqvist.<\/p>\n

T\u00f6rnqvist has said the following about her work: \u201cSometimes when I\u2019m drawing I feel as if there\u2019s a direct line from my heart to my hand. There\u2019s no intellect involved. The materials I work with are spread out across my drawing board and I choose them almost by intuition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marit’s picture books have been published in Sweden, the Netherlands, USA, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Turkey, Iran, Palestina, China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Russia.<\/p>\n
