Guy Buffet is a celebrated artist with an international following. He began his artistic career as a child sketching on the tablecloths of the Buffet family restaurant in postwar Paris. Seemingly 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 Academic de Peinture de la Ville de Paris. Buffet's tour of duty in the French Navy took him around the world and he was named the official artist of the French Navy. Buffet's work now hangs in many fine public, private and corporate collections. He is the official artist for Champagne-Perrier-Jouet and has completed numerous commissions that enjoy worldwide distribution.
