Godfried Pietersartist • sculptorBunde 1936

Born in Bunde in South Limburg, sculptor Godfried Pieters received his training at the City Academy of Applied Arts and the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. His oeuvre shows a preference for the human figure (especially torsos and heads) and nature (birds, fish and plants and tubers), which he depicts in a realistic style. Pieters works in stone types such as marble and diabase, wood, glass and gold. In 1965 he received a travel grant from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, which prompted several study trips abroad to France and Germany.
