Luc Piron is a wonderful artist and a very kind person.
I met him first in the context of an exhibition in Southern Germany in
which I was participating as well, as a poet. Luc was born in 1952; he
studied art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Mechelen and the Royal
Academy for Fine Arts in Antwerp. In addition to being an independent artist,
he was also a professor of etching and computer art, and a professeur d’honneur
at the Royal Institute for the Visual Arts (RHOK) in Brussels. prints,

them the Singer Friden Price, for Monumental Paintings, the renowned Pro
Civitate Prize for Graphic Arts, the Laureaat Ringer |
Diamonds for Graphic Arts, and the Belgian State Price for
Graphic Arts. He participated in many group exhibitions and had noteworthy
solo exhibitions, in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany. In recent years,
