Lukas Göthman Brings His Playful Monsters to Life with Skultuna Collaboration Lukas Göthman, a Stockholm-based artist, explores the theme of journeys, whether real, fictional, or dream-inspired in his work. Over the years, he has often depicted monsters as metaphors and characters within his stories. Initially appearing in his texts, these creatures have since evolved into clay figures and wooden sculptures. “The monsters have accompanied my work throughout the years,” Göthman explains. “They’re clumsy and not so scary, often a bit sad, lovable, depressed monsters. Molding them by hand in between painting sessions feels right for their character. This collaboration with Skultuna is exciting not only because they’re casting my clay monsters in bronze but also because they share my vision.” Göthman has a penchant for unusual, durable objects. “I like collecting odd items that won’t easily break. Sometimes, you just need silly things that stand the test of time,” he says in a press release. For those looking to explore the colourful and stunning underwater world or witness Manta’s in all their glory, the resort will be offering Guided Snorkelling and Manta Excursions, both accompanied by a local marine biologist. The property will also be hosting free Coral Planting and House Reef Cleaning sessions throughout the week for guests to take part in. www.skultuna.com
