Pierre Willy De Muylder (1921-2013).
Belgian painter, designer. Training at Saint-Luc and at the Brussels Academy with Anto Carte. Initially a surrealist close to Magritte, he evolved towards lyrical abstraction. Around 1975, new sensitive currents brought De Muylder back to lands more realistic in their representation, but just as linked to the poetry of silence, mystery and dreams. Uniting the virtuosity of drawing with the delicious subtleties of glazes, the painter now uses the ancient technique of tempera, which he combines with oil, to perfect the plastic quality of his intimate visions. In solitude, Pierre-Willy De Muylder continues the poetic inventory of his dreams and imaginary memories.
Numerous exhibitions. Works at the Cabinet des Estampes in Brussels.
