Self Portrait by Eric de Boer
Throughout his life, Eric de Boer has been curious and fascinated by art and artists. A native of the Netherlands, he made the most of the many opportunities afforded him by living in Amsterdam to view and study works of the Old Dutch and Flemish Masters as well as those of Van Gogh and Mondriaan.
Eric has studied with oil painters Carol Carpenter, Lynn Wyatt and the late Adamo (Joseph Adams), who specialized in the techniques of the Old Masters.
Eric has exhibited in several juried and non-juried art shows in Virginia and New Mexico. He continues to perfect the techniques he learned from Adamo, as well as those he has developed himself over the past two decades. Widely known for his delightful and captivating landscapes, Eric draws inspiration from everyday objects and people he encounters, whether at home or traveling. His paintings of Holland, Spain, Portugal and other faraway lands reflect his curiosity and fascination with the subjects of his works, whether with architecture, people, flora or fauna. He feels right at home in New Mexico, a land filled with spectacular richness of color, light and shadow, the focus of his current work.
