THE LIFE OF AN ARTIST | Joachim's Story
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มี.ค. 2021
- Joachim lives remotely in the forests and mountains of Norway, as a full-time artist. Painting is his passion and purpose. I thought it would be time to tell his story...how he started painting, what is inspiring him and what challenges he had on his way. Hope you enjoy the film!

"Nature wants nothing from you." That really spoke to me. Your artwork is magical.
Thank you so much 😊 - I’m glad it did ✨🌾 !
I really admire your nature's art👍🥰
Such a great quote - 🌳🌲🍃
The dislikes are from people who tried to like the video but couldn't see through their tears
Haha love this
There is literally no other explanation!
Hahahahaha brilliant 💜💜💜💜
As a professional filmmaker for over 20 years, I am always inspired by your artistic instincts, Leena, which are unerring and endlessly engrossing. Your choice of music, your images, your editing (so underappreciated) , your effortless storytelling... you have my admiration and respect. I never miss an episode. Can’t wait for the next one.
Totally agree with your comments, she's a real professional
Well said. May you continue to grow into both of your journeys.
And who are the soundtrack artists you chose if you don’t mind sharing.
They helped evoke this story and art
"If it is something you can't live without. If it's something, you're always coming back to, really no matter what, LISTEN TO THAT."
Oh gosh I'm gonna cry.
☺️🙏✨
@@joachimingulstad7274 you should write a book about that !
im gonna cry too i NEED this advice
Any women that encourages a man to follow his heart is a keeper. Leena is a keeper my friend ) Very happy for you both.
Well said. You have a clear way of communicating. Treasure it. 😊👍💛🧡
This is the story of a lost soul, wandering around the world, looking for the clue to find itself.
I really like your art and it's the right choice to follow your heart. It doesn't matter the rest of society has questions.
If you don't follow the common herd and people, like family, hate you for it because they want you to act 'normal'...
Well, that's ok. I did the same and being older now I know it was the right choice.
Love each other every day and everything will be just fine.
I didn't perceive him as a lost soul, I perceived him as a sensitive soul, connected to nature. And who feels at home when in nature and when painting nature. He is very fortunate to have found his calling at such a young age, he struggled for a while, but then he found it. She obviously loves, supports and believes in him very much. Beautiful story, beautiful couple. So inspiring 💗
A lost soul..absolutely not!
What a beautiful film ❤️ I got so touch by your story Joachim - I have tears in my eyes, when you talk about the pain, by not following your heart. You are so talented and deserve this so much - I am so happy for you and Leena ☺️
Thank you guys, for such a touching movie.
With all my Love
Christine
thank you so much christine ❤️🤗 much love to you!
I really appreciate that ☺️ - thank you !
i understand you too, it have touch me too
If every soul with a passion so strong would follow their dreams instead of trying to conform to an office job , I think the world would be so much more amazing. Your talent is limitless Joachim. I've watched , and loved so many of yours and Leena's videos.. but this was the most beautiful I've seen. ❤
Completely agree!
@@sofiacosta1897 😊
❤️🤗❤️
That’s really lovely- thank you so much 😊🙏
@@joachimingulstad7274 keep inspiring ❤🤗
I'm way late to this but you are both some of the most pure beings I have ever seen. It feels like Joachim puts his entire heart into each painting and that is so special... when he said "and that's when I really started painting on the walls" I felt that in my gut. Thank you for sharing his story with us ❤
You are both one of the most talented couples I know. Your inner strength, the perseverance and all the beauty that surrounds you makes your life to be where it is now. Love both of your works. Specially because you both are inspired by nature. The way both of you talk with such a smoothing voice and the soft music makes your videos to be magical. Love you guys!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
thank you so so much ❤️
Your storytelling abilities in your videos are documentary level. I am blown away by your channel I love it so much! We need you to get to a million subscribers ASAP!
This video is a stunning artistry: content and filmatography! And you two are angels, showing us with art, peace and honesty that it is worthwhile to follow our inner light to get better, to live. I can say that. I’m 68yo. Thanks a lot Joachim and Leena! God bless you! God bless each one here to find oneself path of a peaceful and worthwhile live! 💛🧡❤️💙💚💜
I actually had tears watching this.. I am also an Artist and just like Joachim I tried to 'fit' into the system. I always wondered what was wrong with me and why I could never find my way. This video inspired me to just start painting again after 3 years of not painting. Like Joachim said - Its okay for things to take time, the most important thing is to believe in yourself and just do the things you are most passionate about.The rest comes! Thank you for this video. Its so beautiful and Joachims artwork aswell!
Wow that’s really brilliant to hear ! ✨🎨👨🎨 I am so happy that my experiences can prove inspirational for others 😊 - thank you ☺️ 🙏
Joachim is giving us a lesson: Never give up on our dreams. You said that you had lost hope but you went back to painting after you failed more than once. You couldn't have done it without lots of strength and passion. I'm happy for the both of you. Leena, i love the music you add to your videos. It makes me zen, almost as if i just had meditated!
What an inspiring and at the sametime emotional confession. You did it right Joaquim, we only live ones and we have to live the most of it. Follow the path where you're enjoying every minute of it son.
"If it's something you can't live without. If it's something you're always coming back to no matter what. Then listen to that" beautifully said Joachim. Thank you and Leena for sharing the inspiration.
Your art is stunning Joachim 😍 To see your progress was wonderful too!
I’m so glad you think so! Thank you 😊
This made me cry! I am so glad you two found each other. Looking forward to more blessings for both of you!!! ❤️🧡💙
"Now, there are endless possiblities" - Leena, I always admired your work. This video though, is a masterpiece. It spoke to me on a such a deep level, you have no idea. Joachim, thank you for showing me, that I might just be on one of these different roads that all just lead up to where I want to be. Thank you for sharing your journey so authentically. It touched me deeply. And I found so much admiration for your couple, and how you are there to help the bringing the other ones vision to life. This video will be watched several times by future me, to remind me, that there is a road leading up to where I want to be. Thank you, really.
Joachim's paintings are so delicate and yet powerful at the same time. You've really mastered the art of painting landscape on glass and canvas plus captured nature in all of its variegated moods and colors. I'm an artist too who grew up in a family of artists but like you was told to be practical and earn my living in the clerical field. I got my BA in Art but then have worked 40+ years doing various clerical jobs, doing my art when I can find the time and energy. I'm so glad that you have been able to pursue your passion and not become trapped in the 9:00 to 5:00 business career. You're living your life's purpose and dream. Jenny USA
Leena and Joachim, the strongest and deepest colors are created by our feelings, and by your stories this colors are discovered in all of us.
It is wonderful how the two of you are helping each other to reach for your dreams and potential.
This film is itself an artpiece. So glad you both found your joy, creating so much beauty ongoing.
You complement each other, understanding and learning from each other's strengths. So good to see people so happy in each other's company.
Joachim you are a wonderful being, very humble, honest and most of all caring.
Your paintings are the true expression of your soul.
You have struggled a lot .
God bless you with a lot of opportunities where your talent will be recognized and you get the respect you truly deserve.
And your life has barely just begun. Enjoy being inspired forever!
A wonderful thought - and very true ☺️ - thank you!
Sincerely, I don’t understand about painting techniques but I know some things about sensitivity and the gift of transmitting feelings through the arts (music in my case). When I see a Joaquim’s painting, I travel to another world, totally surrounded by an atmosphere of calm and peace. He has the capability of open an invisible path between the artist and the spectator throughout the painting. This is not technique, this a gift, a natural talent, like Leena with filmmaking. We are so lucky of enjoying the art of both.
I hope you both know how incredibly special and beautiful you both are. If the world consisted mostly of souls like this, it would be a utopia 💜
STUNNINGLY beautiful, you both are undeniably gifted; true beauty from ashes! Thank you for sharing ALL of this! Peace to you both.
thank you so much 😊
We all need a Leena in our lives, Joachim. She's the reason you're achieving your dreams. Love is the answer, and now you know that for sure. 👍
I very much agree ☺️😁
Most likely he drew her to him-they are kindred sprits and the connecting most benefical for both.
This story was one of the most honest and meaningful videos that I have EVER seen!! EVER!!!
thank you!! ☺️🙏🏻
ABSOLUTELY! Let your passion and dream/s Live you. It’s something we’ve been missing in our world because of ‘our have to’s’. The spirit that Is us wants to return. Consider yourself, Joachim, the beacon of light you came to Be during these times. That Is your ‘job’. 🎈🎈🎈
Joachim = JOY. You know Joachim, your still small voice kept whispering to you over time. And you bounced between the world, and your still small voice. And at one point that Still Small Voice began shouting at you, "Listen to me Joachim" it will all be ok. Trust me. And finally, you turned from the world, and followed your Still Small Voice. And here you are, a successful painter, a creator and a visionary. I loved your Hogwarts little shop idea. I believe that would be the culmination of all the time you've spent learning and DOING. Finally we get to hear your story, in your own words. I am so inspired by your story. Wish we could find a cabin in the woods, somewhere, and just live in Nature like you. Not so easy here. Remember to honor your Still Small Voice. It has done you very well. Now that you recognize it and listen to it intuitively. Well Done Joachim. I'm proud of you. And I am sure Leena is of you too.
Self doubts unfortunately are a characteristic for artists. Mostly because they do have a huge amount of compassion and extremely sensitive skills. An artist expresses a lot of his inner self in his artwork and it takes a lot of courage to present your art and such your inner self to the world. Congratulations to both of you and please go on touching us so very deeply with your stories and letting us participate in your journey. You are both so extremely talented!
Drawing is a different form of seeing; one that employs my eyes, mind, and muscles as well. When I initially begin a drawing, my eyes are most active; then my mind becomes engaged; and as I enter into what artists call ‘flow’, my muscles dominate because they’ve achieved a unity with my mind and eyes. I don’t know any other way to describe what it’s like for me to draw.
I know I'm supposed to comment on Joachim and his life/work. But I can't help admiring this talented, strong-minded, and hard-working girl who made Joachim's dreams come true. She is the reason his story has a happy ending. It most probably would have ended with another little good citizen ))) being created - someone deeply unhappy and disenfranchised with his work in the office.
Amazing team work, guys. All the best of luck to you both and may your dreams come true. Thank you for sharing with us.
Remarkable story. How many difficulties you had to overcome to finally do what you love and what gives you pleasure. Your landscapes are beautiful, you have a really great talent. The most important thing is to follow your dreams. I really respect people who have this courage to give up everything and pursue their passions and live off it. Too many people are crammed into the tight confines of the traditional way of life. Routine kills their dreams, creativity and passions. Together with Leena, you make a great team, it is wonderful to watch you and listen to you, you have good energy. ❤️
I am so happy that you and Leena found each other, Joachim! You guys deserve all the joy, peace, and love that you have been seeking.
Your paintings are beautiful. I admire your patience with details.
I can completely relate to what you said about nature not wanting anything from you. When I was grieving a deep loss, it was only in nature that I felt peace. I could be however I wanted and it was ok. Nobody trying to make me feel better, cheer me up or judge my experience. I felt totally accepted as I was. To this day, nature is my only church. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
Joachim and Leena are beautiful and gentle souls. They are like angels on earth.
Well, another amazing film. Joachim, I believe the best decision you made in your journey so far was to call Leena. The two of you are harmony in living. She is the perfect counter to your wandering. She helps you center. She is your champion and a man cannot ask for more than that. My wife and I have been married for 47 years and overcame many obstacles in our life journey together, but we hung in there and continue to love and live. Seeing you two standing side by side towards the end of the film brought tears to my eyes as I recall in college sitting next to this beautiful Alto in choir where I was the paid Tenor and falling for her. Thank you again for your gift to we who watch.
Love from Arizona, USA
It was indeed ! 😁 - thank you 😊
Hello Leena and Joachim! I am a student in art and now is my last semester before graduation. And the last year I feel very lost since I don't know what to do next, how to find a way to make a living as an artist. I also can be an art teacher in the school but I don't want to do it. a dream to sell my paintings like you. Your story is awesome. So many fails but finally your dream is real. And I believe sooner or later I'll be able to sell my artworks like you
Thank you so much! - Yes that is a feeling I can relate to very much indeed, I am sure that being aware of this and believing that there is a path is the most important step 😊 - And not to get to panicked if it looks as though it won’t work, life is so full of surprises ! Wish you all the best and hope you find your way to fulfill your dreams 😊👨🎨🎨
What a story! You DO have talent! And ur wife saw your soul and supported you. Precious...
We all see the glory of God in his creation in some way and it draws us to him even if we don’t realize it. For you it’s art inspired by all the beauty he made in trees, the sky and mountains. For me, it’s being a nurse because when I help others in caring for them, I see more and more how he’s healed me. God wants us to worship and love him, not his creation. And we can love him because he first loved us through his son, Jesus Christ. God bless you, you’re paintings are unique and beautiful.
I enjoyed this mini film a lot. It feels like so much truth. Truth to self. Integrity. Search. Urge to live life.
You are a special person, Joachim. Please, trust the beauty you have and let it speak through your creativity. Let your talent grow like trees, in silence and without rush, giving the world in it's time what it can offer during the season.
Greetings. :)
I am 65 and a veteran of Canadian airforce, suffer PTSD and paintings have saved my sanity as did writing a book on the subject. My new friend and I are contemplating purchasing some land in the woods in order to do exactly what you described in this video. Thank you so very much for sharing.
Sounds perfect 😊🌾 - Nature is so very healing ✨
The colors OMG!!!!!! Joachim your art feels like home!! I can't describe it any other way.
As I continue watching this video I find myself saying “OMG, he is so talented”!
really brought tears to my eyes because I really feel it.
I wish also to own a forest that could just grow. hearing it made me happy i am not alone in this wish.
This is good that you chose the path to serenity and found your right partner. Some go their whole lives without reaching and stretching. We all need the healing of nature, kind friends and understanding family. Though we go through pain there is always a light ahead. Take care.
I am in tears , it is a beautiful film , i hope one day i could live like that , love from argentina🇦🇷🇦🇷❤
I am so touched by your story and was crying almost the whole way through this video. But in a good way. Being close to nature is my deepest longing since a long time and the only unfulfilled one so far. Apart from that I’ve luckily followed every other passion in my life so chances are good, that I will also find a way to leave the city and live in the nature. You are a wonderful artist and an inspiration. Your journey gives me hope 🌈 🌱☀️🌾
Thank you! I’m sure you will find you little haven of nature soon 😊✨🌾🏔
Seems like when you spend hours with tiny leaves, you have a mindfulness meditation. Lovely. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us.
This... is a REAL artist story. Thank you so much for sharing this, so many other artists, when they tell their stories, it's such bullshit... "It was hard at first, but it gets better," is all they ever say. Their words are often bordering toxic positivity at best, so entrenched in this stupid "never give up" culture, they think they're inspiring but it's only even demoralizing when I've tried the same things and failed.
This actually helps. To see your real journey, to be taken through it. I understand this on a much better level than others' petty platitudes and "git 'er done"s, and it actually gives me hope and understanding. Leading by example, not with empty words.
Thank you. On so many levels. Thank you.
Your 30 min video is like a university course of painting!!! Great job done, and your paintings are more than beautiful, they have soul....
You two carry such goodness in your hearts and are such pure souls that it feels... otherwordly. What a beautiful story, Joachim! So happy that we now heard both of your life stories. Wishing you all the best!
I love that you walked for two hours to get groceries when living in the yurt and you loved it.
Leena, i can not even begin to express how delighted i am with your attention to the details in your videos. Everythig: music, scenery, colors, words make like a little dance together! Thank you for that - i so enjoy watching you both ;) keep living your true life and everything else what you need will just join and dance along 💃
'Nature wants nothing from us' - thats big, powerful, beautiful words ;)
Thats it, thats so true! Nature shares without expecting anything back :)
Heidelberg is my most favourite town in the whole world!.. Now I live 40 min from it in Karlsruhe, having escaped the war in my motherland Ukraine.
I owned a horse Grand for 6 years who tragically died in Ukraine during the war. He showed me the wonders of being present around horses establishing a deep connection that is changing every second.
Now I dream of visiting Dream Valley 😌
Wow, ich finde, du bist so unglaublich mutig, Joachim. Mir fällt es schon schwer, überhaupt herauszufinden, was meine Leidenschaft ist - aber auch mich zieht es immer in die Natur. Grüße aus Hannover!
You should both be very proud of this video. It is excellent, and very professionally produced. It is lovely to learn more about you Joachim and to see more of your work. I can entirely relate to your struggles, and am very familiar with being a square peg trying for years to fit into a round hole. You are very lucky to have the wonderful Leena in your life, and I'm so pleased that you have now been able to make a commercial success of your talent. So many don't ever make it, so well done to you. I wish you every success for the future.
Hi Brother! Many blessings to you from Amsterdam as well as a thank you note for your inspiration. Myself I’m not an artist, nor am I able to draw anything that would look inspiring. But after seeing your story, how your soul chose this journey you are in, to experience difficult times before you both met, it truly touches me when I see your dreams are coming true. Through the trees and landscape that you paint, light has shined upon you. I truly hope that one day I will be able to follow your footsteps, be surrounded by nature and have a talent hand someone would appreciate like so many appreciate yours.
Joachim, you are a very special person, a fine artist. Despite the difficulties you followed your heart and didn’t give up. Respect ! Continue your work it’s amazing, you have so much talent. Lena and you are the perfect match !
I feel mostly at a loss for words. This is a beautiful documentary of Joachim. And his honesty and clarity about his journey is just so sacred and touching. I think, when a person has a great passion and gift, it must be lived. This can be so painful in contrast to how the world wants us to conform. But to deny it is even more painful. Joseph Campbell said, "Follow your bliss and doors will open for you that you didn't even know were there." Having lived 68 years, I believe he is correct. I hope you both continue to follow your hearts, remain true to your own purposes. If you do, life may not be easy, but it will always be rich and true and you will always be home in yourselves.
I would say it's actually a very present and full Soul living in a lost world which made this vivid and full Soul confused until he realised that it was possible to live in this lost world, but in his own way. Living a life at his own terms in what is nourishing and fulfilling for him. It was extra special knowing that someone who loves this person was behind the lens filming all of this :)
That’s a very lovely way of putting it, very true ☺️✨🤗
I love the way you guys have loved and believed in each other like a beautiful dance.
Oh my... What has gone on w/you both is such a story. The videos are beautiful there in Norway. It's good that you both could heal in the beauty of nature & then find each other there. Sharing with someone who's in the same predicament as you can be so helpful & give you perspective. Keep painting Joachim. You'll develope more as you go along & develope your own personal style. It will happen & it will come. Creating is such a soul thing. If you should ever get a little shop to display & sell your work you should paint there. That's something that helps your sales and people LOVE to watch. It's mesmerizing. I used to have this watercolor class that I created & had 15 students come weekly to take lessons. I got the teacher from a place here in Seattle, Washington, USA in a Art Shop called Daniel Smiths here in downtown Seattle. I wanted to learn to paint watercolor, that's why I created the class, but we all loved this teacher's style & the classes. One time we all paid the $35 for the class but just put our brushes down & just watched her paint a winter fall forest landscape for about 3 hours & we're in awe. It was so well worth seeing her just paint we would all have done it again. It was so stimulating. So keep painting. You can only get better. God bless you both.
My personal belief is that things are falling into place for you and beautiful Leena not only because of your individual boundless talents but because you live lives full of gratitude and kindness. I made my first purchase and I’m eagerly waiting for my art. I will order more. Love art with heart. I wish you many successes and I’m certain you and Leena will get your farm with precious horses. I have no doubt. Please know that this old lady is cheering you guys on! 💖
This glimpse into your life/lives is just lovely. Thank you for sharing it. You, Joachim, are a gentle, beautiful soul. When you talk about the future toward the end of the video, I found myself smiling ear to ear in excitement for you and Lena.
His art is so very beautiful 😊 He is an amazing person - not only is he very talented but he's also very hardworking. It will pay off. May all his dreams come true 😊 And your video is also stunning. While I was watching it, I felt like being in the cinema. Those sceneries and colors are breath-taking and the way you film the small details makes your videos so fascinating 💞 I admire your passion and drive.
What a wonderful video
A very beautiful and interesting video; I have learned from it, for instance, that there is a lot of pressure from the outside world - family, friends, tradition - imposing someone to do things in life that are common and well respected, but that the person in question does not like at all and how difficult it is to abandon that trail and to find your own way, to fulfill your own dreams, in one word, to built your own life. With his great friend, Leena, Joachim made it, finally. Well done, Joachim!
The person from the nature, I can say. Thank you.
Joachim, being a painter myself, I feel you. When your work sold so much, after you guys had launched the shop, your tears made me cry too. You deserve all of it
Bin restlos begeistert von Eurer Vision, eurem Lebensstil und Lebensphilosoohie. tief beeindruckt bin iich von eurer tiefen, echten Liebe zur Natur
I'm from the Philippines, yet I feel very close to Norway my dream country when I watch your videos, thank you Leena for getting me closer to Norway, I always love watching your video contents. Please continue sharing how beautiful nature is in Norway, I wish I could meet you, to be able to step foot in Norway, but yeah we're very far apart so just by this short films atleast I get to feel closer to Norway..
Lot's of Love from Philippines
Omg, SAMEEE. I hope we get there someday. 💕
Thank you, Joachim and Leena, for this BEAUTIFUL and ENCOURAGING sharing of your story!!! You paint so beautifully, Joachim. Patience brings roses. Me too, with doing 5 years of tedious studies, always WANTING to paint. It took me years to figure out the marketing side of creativity. I still am, lol. JOY is the key word and you have found it. So glad you have an online store. Visibility is very important. What a great true-story-movie you two have made here!! Love and peace to you both!! WA state, USA
The fact that in nature, nothing wants anything from you. That's deep! I find your story very inspiring.
Absolutely wonderful story about following one's passions.
As a university student who enjoys making videos and working on website design in my free time, and trying to run a side hustle, I appreciate seeing this, it's very inspiring.
Been also hearing that ''You can do it as an hobby'' occasionally here and there. I'm glad you didn't listen to them. Neither do I :) Greetings from Finland.
We already knew a little about Joachim following the Q & A video. But this video is SO special! Joachim literally offers his soul for all to see. And I discovered a beautiful talented soul that brought tears to my eyes. I hope and pray you both get to live your dream of a farm, horses, nature art and all because...you deserve it. Keep up you great work! 🙏🏻❤️
Like Joachim, I find comfort and inspiration in nature. Whenever I feel anxious or depressed, a walk in the wood always helps me cure my blues. I do nature photography, but have always thought of it more of an excuse for me to justify spending more time in the woods. I loved watching the timelapses of his painting and hearing about his method and inspiration. Very well done video! Keep Wandering! Thx, Ken
Thank you 😊 - Yes Nature really is the greatest healer of an anxious soul ✨🌾 - it’s always helpful with an excuse 😁😉🏔
@@joachimingulstad7274 Yeah, but I think it was really more of a justification than excuse. "Look I'm being productive, I'm not just bumming around hiking and camping in the woods." Not sure that's healthy. At one point I made a point of leaving my camera at home to so I wouldn't be focused so much on the image. But you know what, I found nature photography actually helps me experience nature more fully. While others are quickly passing by me to get in their steps, I'm noticing the reflections of tree trunks on the pond, watching the mouse scampering around in the leaves and the observing an otter playing in the stream. Nature feeds my soul and the camera helps me focus. Anyway... we love watching you and Leena in the videos. We are also one of her Patreon supporters. Keep Wandering! Thx, Ken
I think that’s a very valid point, Leena finds the same - the focus changes with a camera. I look a lot at the wider landscape while she sees the movement of the wind and the finer details ✨🌾😊
Das ist eine so schöne Geschichte und eine wundervolle Vision. Ihr beide seid eine große Inspiration. Ich wünsche euch alles Glück dieser Erde ♥️♥️♥️
soooo beautiful.... the short movie is giving the hope for all artists on the world who are holding back their feelings because of fears and options the others... Your story gave me a courage to break it through!
AMAZING ♥ I am so happy for you. It's really important not to give up when you really know your passion even if it doesn't bring the wanted feedback instantly. I keep reminding this for myself too when disappointment comes around. Because when you are an artist - you really know what you love and how you should play your part in this amazing Universe. Very often we need our patience to await for the rose bud to blossom :)))
I have been watching lots of your videos lately and it has been seriously inspired and now want to move to Norway. Although I'm just a 22 year old student with a degree and nothing else, I will work hard for the next 10 years of my life so that by my early 30's, I'll hopefully be able to afford to move there and start a new chapter of my life. Thank you for your videos and love both you guys art works (painting and videos), cheers from Malaysia! ❤️
Funny to hear you talk about your shop... i imagine my bookshop the same way, a bell on the door and wheh you enter it's just anither world full of books, magical creatures, butterfly books... and it's soo cosy inside with a fire place... a corner where i can sit and write... or people can just stay and spend the afternoon... it's good you didn't gave up on your dream, love you guys
Yes that it the exact mood of the perfect shop 😊 Thank you ☺️
ok, it made me cry ... you live exactly the life I want to live, but I'm in this phase of living in a city and doing things I don't like ... 😥 Well done! 🤗Great video! ❣️
Keep follow your passion Joachim, You and Leena are the real artist, your work comes from the heart
Thank you so much 😊
I think this personal narrative is an important feature to have on this site and certainly makes me more inclined to purchase an item after seeing what's behind it. I am fascinated with Norway, a country that seems to "get it" more than any other (though all the Nordic countries + FInland seem to be where it's at). Thus I added your regular stories to my list here. Keep it up!
You are very talented, Joachim. I am glad that you continued your painting.
Amazing talent, Joachim. Norway is my second home, so I totally understand the life and artistic inspiration you get from it's breathtaking nature 😊💕🇧🇻
Thank you- yes, it really is quite wonderful here 😊🙏
Ich erinnere mich bei fantastische Tierwesen an die eine Aussage "meine größte Angst ist es im Büro zu arbeiten"...🙌 als jemand der aus der Großstadt in die Berge zog...ohh ja, kann ich nachvollziehen.
The scene, music, story are an art. Really love every second of the scenes, so beautiful and smart shot....in the end i'm jealous with this couple 😭
i go through that kind of struggles as an artist.. the dilemma of what to do and how to do it is actually taking away the desire for creating, in the long run. I've tried video art, painting, drawing, songwriting, photography, no matter what its just hard to do fulltime.. you two are lucky to have found eachother and make it work your way. i hope i do to, i also think now its my time to start a webshop, and i am so lucky people want my pictures for exhabition even though it doesn't give m e money yet...
Oh my goodness, I never seen this one, some how I missed it.
Joachim, you are a great artist! You paint with such passion and detail.
Thank you for sharing your story!
God Bless you.
I think your class that your thinking about doing is a wonderful idea!

How truly beautiful.....finding oneself is the joy of life. And like so much in nature the journey is often not quite straightforward.....as the wind bends the tree, it does not break, but is formed into new beauty and grace. Your artwork is just beautiful and Leena's opening you up to all the possibilities and her support is 'the wind beneath your wings'....(Char in the U.S.)
Cheers to Joachim's store! We want a special offer for the old fans on TH-cam :)
I was deeply touched by your story, Joachim; I have tears in my eyes as I type this. As soon as you realize your dream of that wonderful shop you imagine, I will make the trip from Oregon, USA to visit! For now, I will order one of your beautiful lanterns for my mantle. Many thanks to you and Leena for sending your inspirational work into the world.
