  • 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!

    "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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • @soniarose1387
      @soniarose1387 Před 3 lety +17

      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 💗

    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 ❤

    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. ❤

    "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.

  • @amelies7027
    @amelies7027 Před 3 lety +5

    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!

  • @yneztannag9866

    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!

    "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.

    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.

  • @AlexRChies
    @AlexRChies Před 3 lety +1

    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.

  • @forestcat5182
    @forestcat5182 Před 3 lety +5

    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!

  • @jeremy1350
    @jeremy1350 Před 3 lety +7

    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.

    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

    • @joachimingulstad
      @joachimingulstad Před 3 lety +2

      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 😊👨‍🎨🎨

  • @MariaGoJa
    @MariaGoJa Před 3 lety +3

    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 🌈 🌱☀️🌾

    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

    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

    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.

  • @candacenagle505
    @candacenagle505 Před 3 lety

    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 :)

    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.

    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 quitted my job to follow my passion and dreams as an artist for 8 years ago and I never regretted. I know it how it hurts when you can´t live your creativity. It can be destroying for body and soul. The best way in life is always to follow your heart ♥︎ I can really relate to your feelings about nature. Nature is my biggest inspiration and my happy place, nothing can compare to the feeling I have when I am in the middle of nature. Thank you for sharing your story, Joachim! Greetings and love to you and Leena! Klem fra Kiri, living in the South of Norway

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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! 🙏🏻❤️

    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.

    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! 💖

You seem like a sincere and humble person and i trust that nature will provide you with the boundless stillness and bliss that only comes from shared being recognised. Stay safe both of you and continue to CREATE, share and inspire, as you were clearly born to do. Much love to you both from Borneo.

    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.

    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.

  • @mysticallifewithalexandra

    Dear Leena & Joachim,
    I am so happy for you! This video really touched my Heart. 🙏💞
    Leena, I found your channel in the summer of 2020, I subscribed but I couldn't really connect/relate to you yet. But I subscribed, because I felt that this time is going to come when you - both of you, it seems - really start to open up. I realized now that online presence is really just one thing: helpful and necessary, but until we are truly ready (energetically), there is no point to force things, and it is wise to dedicate time and ourselves to the preparations in every sense.
    I wish you joy and peace,
    Alexandra

    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.

    When Joachim said that if it's something you're always coming back to then listen to that, I got chills. It's so true. I wonder how different the world would be if we stopped living up to other people's expectations.

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 💃
