Eddy Bouquet, an artist with a fascinating life journey, partially concluded his business career in 2008 after being compelled to transfer his company due to a severe heart attack. Although business is still in his blood, art has now taken a more prominent place in his life.

Upon reaching retirement age, his hobby transformed into a true passion, where he brought his own creations to life. An education in art history opened his eyes to the evolution of art through the centuries. He is particularly captivated by modern and contemporary art, drawing inspiration from masters such as Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, and many others.

His preference lies in figuration, cubism, and geometry. Painting portraits presents a challenging task for him. Eddy Bouquet strives to continually develop himself in painting and visual arts, believing that “the sky is the limit".
