The works of Paul Klee and Joan Miró exerted a strong influence on Corneille.

However, Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo paintings was initially non-figurative, but he gradually turned to painting fantasy landscapes in warm tones, frequently characterised by representations of female figures and birds. The woman represents beauty and voluptuousness, while the bird symbolises freedom and strength.

 

Since his debut, Corneille has taken part in hundreds of exhibitions at different galleries and is represented in museums all over the world.

 

Led by a fascination for Corneille, our grandfather, Siwert Bergström, visited the artist in Paris in 1976, where the two of them met in a sidewalk café. This marked the beginning of a fruitful friendship and a close working relationship.
