ABOUT US

Maxim van den Nieuwenhuijzen is the founder of ARTIK, a production company with a multicultural foundation dedicated to the art of storytelling.

His passion for travel and adventure brought him to China over a decade ago, where his fascination with striking visuals inspired him to explore the worlds of photography and videography.

At ARTIK, collaboration lies at the heart of everything we do.

We produce emotions.
We capture moments.
We connect people, unite teams, and create beauty.
