Artist Profile | Illustration

Maja Lindberg

I'm Maja and works as an illustrator and artist. I started my career as a ceramic artist, but after a short stopover in webdesign I ended up working as an illustrator and suddenly I had my own business. I set up a store at Etsy.com and after a few months I sent my artprints all over the world. Since then I've been fortunate to work with clients both international and national. For example:  Santoro London, Personal planner, Posten Åland, Björn Ulvaeus, Fri Tanke and The ABBA Museum, Svensk bokhandel, Hippo Bokförlag  and many more. In 2016, my first book was published, "Lilla Bokstavsboken" ("The small book of letters"), an ABC-book with small rhymes and illustrations to each letter. In 2017, the book "Lilla Sifferboken"  ("The small book of numbers") was released, which has the same setup as the previous book, but instead with numbers and months. My studio is located in a small village by the sea, called Lomma, in the south of Sweden. That's also where I live together with my husband, my daughter and the cat. My son works and lives in Helsinki, Finland. Illustration Most of my illustrations are digital. I work in a program called Procreate on my Ipad. Artistic inspiration My illustrations are mostly inspired by fairy tales, dreams and childhood memories and often hold some mystery. The goal is to create beautiful and visually engaging illustrations that encourage creativity, curiosity and fantasy.
