Patrik Lundell
In my art I invite you into my figures, hidden messages and homages. If I find something of importance I visualize it in oil, acrylic and charcoal. The balance between darkness and a light touch is my aim to portray what I see. What I love about art is that it can be a conversation starter. What I see clearly can be a bit dim for others, and that is what fascinates me. And also everything doesn't have to be so serious, a playful canvas can be a reminder to have fun and to enjoy the moment given to us.
In my artworks the composition is important, usually the main character is placed in the center of the stage. Hidden words and symbols can be seen if looking closely.
You can see my website as a glimpse into my world, the way I see it and how I portray it.

Gufo
This owl with his red bowtie came to life when I lived in Florence. I wanted to create a seriousness, with an intriguing darkness. The sense that this owl has been around and he knows what he is talking about. His wisdom is something to listen to.
Queen
This is my symbol for all the powerful women in my life: my wife, my mom, my mother-in-law, my sister, my daughter and a certain friend.
Strong, driven and inspiring women whom with their presence lead to inspire others.
A bird called Jacky
My homage for my wife Jacqueline, a very strong and powerful bird. She´s been on this adventure dating back to when we met in the archipelagos of Värmdö, then off to Florence and now we're living in Stockholm with all our kids and animals.
Firenze
The start came when I created my first figure "Hobo", a homage for the homeless.
- I got fascinated by their use of symbols written on walls to help eachother. From that world I saw a connection into my art by sometimes re-using material and make it into artworks.
Recycle-art or Old Gold as I call it. Some of that work is on display at beautiful Siggesta Gård, Värmdö.
The time in Florence was an important stepping stone in my strive to process forward. I wanted to manifest that by painting on my palette that was used during those years.
To strive forward can sometimes have a meaningfull chance to look in the rearview mirror. I used to be afraid of cats, 2023 we bought 3 kittens and now that fear has been portrayed into my series of " I stole the yarn". This is my most recent work that is on display at Taralets coffee in Nynäshamn.
In 2016 at Siggesta Gård, Patrik exhibited his art in their hotel rooms. Like a treasure hunt the visitors had a map of the different houses to find the art. The importance that he wanted to lift up to the surface was the use of recycle-art. The idea came from living in Florence when the garbage truck weekly picked up trash from the streets, old gold that could work their way up on walls. Objects like old window shutters. At Siggesta, Patrik visited their own popular flee market to find old frames and spinningwheels, and old keys that could work their way into his artworld.
