Pieter Sonnemans (1945 - 2023) studied Fine Arts at the City Academy in Maastricht. In 1969-1970 he followed the specialization Painting at the Art Academy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
In 1976 he became an expert in the technique of screen printing at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. He was a member of the Graphic Collective for several years and taught drawing and painting at the Centre for the Arts in Geleen, Sittard and Valkenburg.
In his early works he shows the 'man' who has always turned away from us. Chained, captivated, cramped.
Pieter Sonnemans' work is also aesthetic, in terms of colour and composition.
His work has been exhibited both at home and abroad (including Paris, Berlin, Hasselt, London, Belgrade, Roermond).
