Piet (Paul, Maurice) Devolder

Piet Devolder graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp, Belgium) in 1967. He now works as a full-time artist, and has enjoyed success within the fields of painting, ceramics and mixed media sculptures. Expressionism and magic realism are key influences to his work.

Piet has experimented with various techniques. His sculptures combine a variety of materials such as concrete, wood, metal and ceramics, where his pictures were created with techniques such as airbrush, oil, paletknife and crayon. Piet has also completed a number of large mosaic projects.

An international artist, Piet has exhibited in Japan, Zaire, England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Piet works from his home in Allas-les-Mines, France, and spends his spare-time exploring the Dordogne with his dog (and best friend) Rikkie.
