Life and Work

To quote his own words, Pierre De Celles "... was born early in the morning of December 14, 1951 in Montreal, Canada. My mother was superstitious and I do not want to be born on the 13th, thinking that it would bring me bad luck, so she kept up until one minute passed midnight. I never understood that since her brother (my uncle) was born 13 and he was the happiest man I knew. " He began to draw at a fairly young age and after a while, again using his own words: "... drawing became my joy." Uninspired by the rigid school system of his time, like many men and women of his generation, he left school to try to find his own way; Pierre De Celles growing up is a vivid example of the 1960 counterculture movement and aspirations - including the ideals of peace, free love, compassion and human community,

Pierre De Celles began to study alone, practice while working for a living: he was a newspaper courier, assistant milkman, worked in a wheeled factory, in the "Ogilvy" department store, and finally landed from work in an animation studio.
