“Wonderment is the spark of inspiration. In my paintings, I try to find a balance between depicting the actual scenery combined with the spiritual state I experience at that moment. A singing bird or smell from a flower for instance, can bring back memories of my early childhood. The images I compose are the result of lingering in nature every day, making sketches, pictures and drawings all the time. The final paintings are reflections of nature combined with my personal feelings and emotions.”

His most recent solo exhibition “Wild Waters” was in 2020 in Sneek, Holland and he participated at the Swiss Art Expo in Zurich, Switzerland, 2021. Bouwkamp is a member of the Dutch Association of Artists (NABK) and was published in the 2022 Yearbook, Jaarboek Kunstenaars 22.
