Linus Ricard was born in the small town of Koping, Sweden in 1980. Never suited for provincial boredom, constantly yearning, he left his
Nordic hometown at 16 to explore the world.

After extensive European travel it was time to settle down. Since fashion had always been a interest he went to Milan, Italy, and studied to become a fashion stylist. After two years at Istituto Marangoni in Milan, he felt the urge for something different. This time, he chose photography, and has been working hard ever since. At first, it was commercial and fashion photography, now Linus has gravitated towards art.

To satisfy his need to see new places, Linus lived in Bejing, China. His art grew and flourished with new impressions of a world much unlike the one he came from.

Today, fueled by a constant passion for art and creation, Linus documents the world as he sees it. Short moments of high emotional impact or deep reflection are what Linus captures. Still, beneath the impulses of his wandering youth, is a thinking man. A man who always places himself, and the souls he meets, in a larger context. The small individual in the big picture works as a red line.
