Boxie van Boxtel, a Dutch artist known for his accessible and childlike visual language, has embarked on a profound new journey called the "I don’t know retreat." As of today, Boxie has disconnected from material possessions and formal studio life to explore what it truly means to live without attachments or predetermined plans. His goal is to understand whether it's possible to say goodbye to everything and still find deeper connections, creativity, and freedom.

Inspired by holistic retreats and personal reflections, Boxie has chosen to abandon stability and materialism, including his studio and art collection. His journey begins in Haarlem, with no fixed destination, as he travels where his intuition leads. The essence of this retreat is to discover how letting go of possessions can open space for connection and the creation of beauty in the world.

Boxie's approach to this journey blends art and life. He plans to live by exchanging his artwork or creative services, including painting murals in people's homes across the Netherlands. His unique "price philosophy" allows buyers to collaborate with him on the price of his art, ensuring accessibility and a deeper emotional connection.
