D.W.C. Lover and Flower - Painter Pieter Wagemans

Pieter Wagemans was born on 11 August 1948 in Merksem, close to the city of Antwerp, Belgium. From his youth Pieter has always been able to express himself spontaneously through the artistic gift that he probably inherited from his father. Even from his early years it seemed likely that he would develop this gift further. At the age of 15 he decided to take lessons at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. [wide]  [left-sidebar]

 During his training at the Academy Pieter had many opportunities to practise life drawings, mainly still lifes, but also nudes and landscapes, each time under the inspiring leadership of professors such as Jacques Gorus and Victor Dolfyn. Through much hard work, they gave him a good grounding in classical painting skills and taught him to master the techniques of an artist.

In 1969 Pieter obtained the commercially valuable diploma of graphic designer, artist and illustrator. After his military service he set out as a free-lance illustrator and designer, working for various publishers over a number of years.
