Biography: Leone Holzhaus is an artist of Dutch descent, living and working in Portugal. She has painted professionally for over 25 years. The inspiration for her art is drawn from the daily Portuguese live, chairs, cafeinterieurs, abandoned karts, etc. The contrast between subdued dingy lit interiors and the harsh southern sunlight are an ongoing inspiration. Her medium is oils. Her works can be found in private collections all over the world. She frequently holds exhibitions, mainly in Portugal and Spain.
