Sign

Greta Van Puyenbroeck was born in Antwerp in 1943. Her parents, Paula Verberckmoes and Vital Van Puyenbroeck, both artists, laid the foundation for her love of art through their example. From 1960 to 1962, she took painting and sculpture classes at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. At first, it was mainly her children and her pets who inspired her, then it was almost exclusively animals. She was well known at Antwerp Zoo and Planckendael, as she always modeled there. Most of the animals are portraits and the connection between her and the animal is usually tangible. Since 1976, she has exhibited several times, by invitation or with her mother. From Europe, New York, California, Canada. His works are found in many private collections.
