Guy Buffet

See the gallery of Guy BuffetSeemingly simple, Buffet's playful compositions and colorful techniques are deceptively complex, the result of years of formal training in the best art schools of France. At 14, Buffet enrolled in the prestigious Beaux Arts de Toulon and took advanced studies at the Academie de Peinture de la Ville de Paris.

Buffet's work now hangs in many fine public, private and corporate collections. He has been twice commissioned by the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and has created several of the state's most beloved public murals. As a guest of the Peking Arts and Crafts Council, he was invited to depict his view of China for special exhibition. He is the official artist for Champagne-Perrier-Jouet and has completed numerous commissions that enjoy worldwide distribution.

About his art, Guy Buffet has said, "I am an optimist, a positive person. When I paint, I invite the viewer to share my experience. I take you into my world like a guest into my home. I want you to be comfortable, relaxed, happy; to forget about problems and sorrows. That's why I do not paint if I am sad or depressed. I want you to like what you see in my world... then if you want to come back, my world is yours."
