Pierre Yves was born in Paris. He studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris, and won the First Prize of the famous Grand Prix de Rome (1942).The prominent feature of the work of Pierre Yves is the strength of his line.

Since 1963, he is a member of the Accademia Fiorentina delle Arti de Disegno and of the National Committee of Contemporary Books, since 1972 of the Flemish Royal Academy of Belgium, and since 1978 of the French Institute (Académie des Beaux-Arts, Paris),

Pierre Yves' work is distinguished by the clean decisive line, and the contrast between the rigour of graphic art and the freedom of imagination.The line is a challenge between violence and sensuality; his original art-form overrides the technique, to the point at which technique is forgotten.Paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures, ceramics, jewellery.

A combat between the line and volume. His engravings, which show him to be one of the greatest of our time, are in contrast with his sculptures, through which he is able to express his recurrent themes in three-dimensional form : bodies and embracing couples are often dominated by violence ; scientific mythology in which Trémois does not illustrate science but questions it, and bestiaries in which merge animals and calligraphy.
