Originally hailing from Linköping, Sweden, and based in Stockholm since 2007, creative director Claudio Marino is becoming a definite protagonist among his peers.

With a constantly growing list of clients – spanning a wide array within the “mainstream” as well as several sub-cultural phenomena, not to mention all of his corporate and commercial patrons – there is no doubt that Claudio Marino, most often operating under the moniker of Artax Film, has what it takes when it comes to making visual story-telling in the form of art and film. He has the exquisite knowledge of how to create tension-filled imagery, leading the way from darkness into light, from blur to sharpness, and from the unknown to the familiar. Claudio Marino is a sensible, sensitive, and sensational filmmaker, utterly respectful and observant to the client’s goals. No holds barred.
