Pierre Émile Gérard is a Belgian visual artist born in Brussels in 1994. He is currently a third-year master’s student at ERG, specializing in Digital Arts. After several years of studying medicine, attempting engineering and architecture, as well as obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in graphic design from ESA Saint-Luc in Brussels, his focus is now on sculpture. While it is still too early to confine his practice to well-defined mediums, he endeavors to express in each of his projects his passion for numbers, geometry, logic, assembly, construction and design. Through these constraints, he approaches themes close to him, particularly issues of health, well-being, and spirituality.
