Raoul Servais was born in Ostend in 1928. He studied Decorative Arts at the Ghent Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where, fifteen years later, he was to become the founder of the European continent's first department for animation. Though Servais practices drawing and occasionally monumental wall-painting, he is best known as maker of some twelve animated films, which won him several prizes at most major international film festivals.
