Puck Jansson. The artist has spent more than a decade combining her time between Sweden and the Costa del Sol. Before that she spent 15 years working in South America as an economist. She went to art school in Santiago, Chile. “I’ve been painting all my life. The images come to me in dreams, they are leftovers from 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 colors and preferably some motif of 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,” he says.

Leif Ahrle. Glass artist born in 1943 Stockholm, Sweden. He is a painter and glassmaker since 1990. He makes glass sculptures with the best glassmakers in Sweden, in Ulven Glass Artworks in Uppsala, and has shown his work in numerous exhibitions: in Stockholm, nine times, between 1990 and 2024; in Gothenburg, Tranås, Skövde, Malmö, Linköping, in the Härnösand Museum, in 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 was always into drawing and painting, I never hesitated to choose my career and, following in the footsteps of Gauguin, Kandinsky, Matisse and Léger, I started studying law. After examining at Stockholm University Law School I worked for a few years in my father’s law firm and then for three years at the Swedish Employers’ Organization (SAF). At the same time, my mind was partly devoted to drawing and painting. In May 2007 he moved to the province of Malaga, where he has been painting, drawing and other activities ever since.
