ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As a fellow practitioner of Martial Arts, I embarked on a creative endeavor to pay homage to the legendary Bruce Lee, a beacon of greatness in the world of Martial Arts. Beginning with a realistic portrayal, I sought to capture the essence of Lee's iconic presence and unparalleled skill. Yet, as an artist compelled by the fluidity and dynamism of Kungfu, I felt drawn to explore new dimensions within the confines of my canvas. Transitioning towards a semi-abstract style, I embarked on a journey to infuse the spirit of Kungfu into my portrayal of Bruce Lee. With each brushstroke, I sought to evoke the grace, power, and precision of his movements, translating the martial arts philosophy into a visual language of forms and colors. While maintaining Lee's recognizable features, I allowed the composition to evolve organically, embracing abstract complexity to convey the depth of his influence and the intricacies of his legacy. The result is a portrait that captures not only the physical likeness of Bruce Lee but also the intangible essence of his spirit. Through this artwork, I invite viewers to immerse themselves in the world of martial arts, where tradition meets innovation and where the boundaries between reality and abstraction blur. Let us honor Bruce Lee's enduring legacy as a master of his craft and a source of inspiration for generations to come. As Bruce Lee famously said, "Be like water," let us flow with the fluidity of his teachings, adapting and evolving as we navigate the currents of life and art.

Born April 17th, 1981, Marc van Rooijen is a self-taught contemporary artist based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. He holds no Bachelor of Arts or other artist titles, but caries a Dutch National Mixed Martial Arts Championship instead. After serious injuries sustained throughout his fighting career, Marc exchanged his fighting gloves for canvas, oil paint, brushes and pallet knives. At first, he painted realistically but Marc translated his inspiration and passion for sports into his work. This made his work change towards a more dynamic and semi-abstract style. People play a central role in his art. The person’s character in his work is recognizable but an abstract complexity is added to it. Besides paintings Marc also makes colorful digital portraits. By dividing faces in color blocks an extra dimension is added to a person’s identity. Recently he started experimenting to paint portraits on caps. Since 2019 a selection of Marc’s work is represented by NYA Gallery. Marc is honored that sports legends like Mike Tyson and Valentino Rossi own his art work. Football star Ronaldinho shared one of Marc’s artworks on his social media channels. He also did commission works for Dutch National Football stars Memphis Depay, Denzel Dumfries, Riechedly Bazoer and Jairo Riedewald.
