Carlos van der Vaart Holland
Carlos van der Vaart lives in Holland, he was born in Maassluis a small city near Rotterdam. He is a full time interior architect. Next to his work, his passion is bonsai. His appreciation for nature and Japanese culture and art was apparent from an early age. Because of that he began to take an interest in bonsai when he bought a small tree at a local flower shop. That was in 1992. He started to read all the books that were available and joined a local bonsai club. After winning the European New Talent competition in Munich, Germany in 1996, he became more and more involved in the bonsai scene. Many of his trees won different national and international awards. He has performed many workshops and demonstrations all over Europe. Because of his many travels he has refined his techniques and knowledge in bonsai. He works with all types of trees, but his favourites to work with are pines and junipers. Now he is member of the "Nippon Bonsai Sakka Kyookai Europe". Most important for Carlos is nature itself, he spends most of his free time in nature to enjoy it. For him bonsai has become a way of live.
