Pierre was born in 1948 in Normandy, France,
and continues to carry both Canadian and
French citizenship. Pivet's studies included the
prestigious Academie de Port-Royal in Paris.
His work is immediate and intense, his colours
vibrant, his strokes strong. Each painting depicts
intimacy, be it still life or portraiture, and has the
distinct influence of Cezanne, Gaugin and
Matisse; who became great influences in his
work.
Pivet's "Pictures within Pictures" is a trademark, as
well as his use of props, which are dramatic, and
at times theatrical.
In 1982 he was awarded the cherished position
of being elected for the Prix de Monte Carlo. In
Chetlamn England, 1987, he was the guest of
honour at the Falcon Polo Club Queens Cup,
and painted a series of 'Polo' works for his solo
exibition. In 1997, the French Embassy in Panama
featured his work in an exhibition in collaboration
with French Ambassador Alain Palu de Beaupuy.
