About the Artist
Guy Buffet’s work is celebrated in both advertising and fine-art circles. Renowned for his whimsical portraits of waiters, such as Les Garçons and The Charge of the Flower Bottle Brigade, as well as his impressionistic depictions of Paris, Hawaii, and California, Buffet left a lasting mark on the world of contemporary French impressionism. His art continues to be displayed alongside masters like Toulouse-Lautrec at the Perrier-Jouët Museum in Paris, where he also served as their official artist.
With a distinctive passion for color and storytelling, Buffet’s canvases transcend boundaries and invite viewers to engage both visually and emotionally. His work offers a joyful pause, a place to rediscover life’s charm and warmth.
As he once said:
“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.”
Though he is no longer with us, Guy Buffet’s vibrant spirit and joyful vision live on through every brushstroke he left behind.
