"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."
Stockholm-based photographer and artist
Patrik Lienhart
"Photography is about capturing moments that live on—allowing us to look back, transport a time or place into a new context, and give it new life."
It all began when I captured my first image on photosensitive paper. At an early age, I built my first camera from a simple box, a small hole, and a piece of tape… and the rest is history.
Photography is my passion. The ability to tell stories through images is what drives me. As a photographer, my mission is to transform fleeting moments into timeless art.

Artist from Haninge
Maja Antoniou
My name is Maja Antoniou, and I live in Haninge, south of Stockholm. Here, I spend most of my free time painting watercolors. I have been drawing and painting since childhood, but since 2019, I’ve dedicated more and more time to this hobby. Painting has become my way of unwinding from a stressful everyday life and recharging my batteries.
Watercolor is amazing, unpredictable, and full of endless possibilities. It requires a special presence and challenges me to let go of control and simply go with the flow, allowing the fluidity and pigments to guide me.
My inspiration comes from the vast forests, wide open spaces, dramatic skies, and misty waters. It is in nature that I find my recovery, my peace, and my comfort—along with energy and vitality. For most of my life, I’ve lived next to Tyresta National Park, and in the deep primeval forest, I feel at home. It is this sense of peace and security that often comes through in my paintings.
I was once told that I paint the forest as the forest feels, and I hope that’s exactly what I convey. Because the forest, the sea, and the mountains do feel.
Artist from Åkersberga
Gabriella Norum
My art often revolves around the beauty of our fauna and flora.
The encounter itself is the essence. My goal is for the viewer to feel, hear, and even smell the subject.
I want them to make eye contact and experience respect and curiosity both towards and from the animals in my paintings, creating the sensation that they are truly in the depicted place.
The balance between my artisanal love for intricate details and the desire to maintain a painterly expression is key in my work.
I paint what I find beautiful, captivating, and that which fascinates and challenges me. Immortalizing what I see, depicting it, and trying to bring it to life with my colors and brushes is my passion.
I also take portrait commissions. I am a self-taught, full-time artist since 2015, with my own studio in Åkersberga.
