Yves Leterme

Yves Leterme (Sint-Kruis, BELGIUM) spends half of his time trying to influence the lives and thoughts of young Brugean adolescents by reading and explaining the works of Virgil, Plato, Cicero and the like. But since even Latin grammar cannot keep a man happy and satisfied for a whole lifetime, he devotes the other half to the fine art of calligraphy. In order to avoid boredom also there, he’s continuously shifting from various commissions (lettering and artistic works) to personal pieces for exhibitions. He has been teaching calligraphy mostly in Flanders, but in recent years also in Australia, Canada, England, Germany and the US.
