Puck Jansson. The artist has been combining her time between Sweden and the Costa del Sol for over a decade. Before that, she spent 15 years working in South America as an economist. She went to art school in Santiago de Chile. “I have painted all my life. Images come to me in dreams, they are remnants of many years in South America, they are with me all the time and crowd my head. I paint ladies in large formats, dancers in soft colours and preferably some motif from nature, trees, forest slopes and water. My paintings hang all over the world, for example in London, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, Marbella and Stockholm,” she says.
Leif Ahrle. Glass artist born in 1943 in Stockholm, Sweden. He has been a painter and glassmaker since 1990. He makes glass sculptures with Sweden's best glass masters at Ulven Glass Artworks in Uppsala and has shown his work in numerous exhibitions: in Stockholm, on nine occasions, between 1990 and 2024; in Gothenburg, Tranås, Skövde, Malmö, Linköping, at the Härnösand Museum, at the Umeå Museum, in Palma de Mallorca, Nice, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Great Britain, Brussels, and Nerja, in the years 2020 and 2024.
Staffan Säfwenberg was born in Stockholm. “Although I have always been a painter and a drawee, I never hesitated to choose my career and, following in the footsteps of Gauguin, Kandinsky, Matisse and Léger, I began to study law. After completing my law exams at Stockholm University, I worked for a few years in my father’s law office and then for three years at the Swedish Employers’ Organisation (SAF). At the same time, my mind was partly occupied with drawing and painting. In May 2007 I moved to the province of Málaga, where I have continued to paint, draw and do other things ever since.
