Leon Bosboom

…born in 1959, his studio is in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. His inspiration comes from Spanish bulls, the symbol of Spain. The bewildering respect we have for these majestic beasts, which appear to originate from another world where strength and elegance complement each other. This is exactly the characteristic of the bulls that Bosboom manages to capture. He works with several color layers of Epoxy raisin and acrylic.

My inspiration comes from the highly iconic photographic images of movie stars. I developed my own iconic portraits by giving them a strong expression, strong colors in a mixed media setting. I use digital art as a basis, then I complete the works with acrylic, coffee and multiple layers of colored and transparent epoxy raisin. All together it results in strong and very decorative portraits.
