Bouk de Roeck was born in 1999 and has been immersed in his creative career from a young age. He began drawing and sketching early on, later expanding his repertoire to include graffiti paintings.

In high school, Bouk enjoyed the art classes most. When he wasn’t accepted into art school, he decided to explore whether studying at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) might be a good fit. However, he quickly realized that he needed to return to what he loved most: making art.

Bouk started creating digital art in Photoshop—drawing inspiration from nature, he produced digital pieces using photo manipulation. However, because these works could be printed in multiple editions, he began searching for something more unique. This led him, in 2024, to start working with his hands—and within that same year, he developed his own distinct style.

In just one year, Bouk exhibited his work in several major cities across Europe, including Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Innsbruck, and Monaco.
