Sten eklund, Swedish painter and ilustrator. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts between 1966-71. He is known for his work with the fictional 19th-century botanist J.M.G. Paléen and Kullahuset's Secrets, which features 53 hand-colored copper engravings with matching sculptures. The visual narrative is a peculiar art project.
