Pierre Ziegler has drawn since he was old enough to hold a pencil.  Initially leaning towards his first love, Comics, his meeting with the French painter Philippe Pasqua for whom he worked as an assistant for 3 years, resulted in converting him.  At Pasqua’s side, he discovered a universe that was closer to his expectations in which he managed to express himself freely.

 

A FIGURATIVE PAINTER

Hugely influenced by primal art, graffiti and raw art. Self-taught, he developed his own techniques and uses acrylic as well as ink, pastels, pencil and even collage. Bright colors are intertwined on his canvases with symbols and writing which all contribute to a figurative painting which is both intense and contentious.
