His work is characterized by undulating ornamental shapes and stylized flora, demonstrating a masterful command of black-and-white page composition. De Bosschère's illustrations, often rendered in black and ochre, reveal a profound interest in the occult and the obscure. These visual elements imbue his literary creations with a unique and unsettling atmosphere.
