Johannes Boekhoudt (Dutch artist, born October 20, 1966) was born in Willemstad, Curaçao, in the Dutch Antilles, and lived his early years on Bonaire. In 1973 he immigrated with his parents to Costa Rica, where he blended easily into Latin American culture. In the 1990s he became a commercial pilot in Costa Rica and the United States; a stint as an air ambulance pilot confronted him with the fragility of life and convinced him that his career as a pilot had run its course.
