Pierre is working som painter into the “artists house” situated in the little town of Frederiksværk in the North of Seeland, Denmark. Pierre was nominated as the official painter for The Danish Royal Navy in 1994 and painter for the Danish Defence in 1998. He travelled extensively (North Atlantic, Færoes islands, Baltic, Island and all over Greenland). Pierre is also a fond keen navigator by is own sailing boat. In the context of Danish campaigns in North Atlantic, Pierre got many opportunities to live in arctic regions, therefore he became deeply sensitive to the nature and culture of these countries.

His biggest 2000 exhibition in Denmark, entitled “ Draw me a seal”, followed a several months trip in South West Greenland, 400 miles kayaking and walking, accompagnied by Maren, his 9 year old daughter. This, both, daughter and father produced report- painting exhibition included notes that were collected during their travel, outlining the atmosphere of summer light in arctic regions, also inviting to a spiritual reflection about the aspects of the culture of Greenland. This exhibitions was a “poetic“ homage to Paul Émil Victor ordered by the French Ambassy in Copenhagen. PEV was also the French founder of the Movement for the Preservation of the Environment.

As pedagogue, Pierre is invited to organize workshops in various schools and residential places, including home for aged people. These workshops allow children to create and integrate a wide range of sensory material on the same project, i.e. paint, dance, rhythm, using natural and salvaged material (as well as domestic material) for the confection of musical instruments, masks and costumes. He is actually teaching art through seminars into the school of Uummannaq in Greenland and participate to humanitarians missions in Africa supporting by his art building of schools and hospitals in Mali.
