Guy Buffet was born in Paris on
January 13, 1943. His parents were in the restaurant business and were fond of art. Guy
Buffet learned early that his neighborhood had once been the home of such artistic figures
as Chagall, Matise, Picasso, and Modigliani. "At home there was always talk about
these famous painters," he says, "and I used to listen to these conversations
while doing my homework at the kitchen table. I remember drawing on napkins and the linen
tablecloths while my brothers were busy with kitchen preparations."
Waiters/Chefs
Cinematic
On his twelfth birthday, his mother gave him his first box of paints, a
couple of brushes, a wooden easel, and several canvases. The young Buffet was soon
displaying paintings on the walls of the family restaurant. He sold his first watercolor
painting to an American who was visiting the family restaurant that next year.At age 14 he was transferred from public school to the famed Beaux Arts de Toulon
and later studied advanced painting in Paris. By age 18, he joined the French Navy where
his artistic abilities were so distinguished, he was named the official artist of the
French Navy and given the prestigious assignment to "paint the world."
Suites
Vineyards
"In the South Pacific, while I was on shore leave
and hitchhiking with some fellow sailors," Buffet says, "we were picked up by a
motorist who was the mayor of the city. After visiting the ship and seeing some of my
paintings, the mayor talked to the captain and got permission for me to put on an exhibit
in town." From this came a series of one-man exhibitions in exotic Tahiti and New
Caledonia. Afterwards, the French Navy helped organize his first exhibition in the
Hawaiian Islands introducing Buffet to what he called "Paradise." The year was
1963 and the rest, as they say is history.
Hawaii
France
and Cafe's
Guy soon settled in this "Hawaiian Paradise" after the
prominent Cooke family offered to provide him living and studio space after his Navy
discharge. What followed were several commissions from the Hawaii State Foundation on
Culture and the Arts which emblazoned major murals at libraries across the state of
Hawaii.
Varieties
Of his paintings, Buffet says, "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. If you like it and
want to come back, my world is yours."Guy has also been
commissioned by many corporations including Aloha Airlines, Grand Marnier, Westin Hotels,
and Ritz Carlton Hotels. He has literally toured the world with one-man shows and
exhibitions.

One can feel the international influence of his Hawaiian creations,
reminiscent of the French master Gaugin who depicted Polynesia from Tahiti generations
earlier. Enthralled with the history and culture of the islands, Buffet continues to
create famous images depicting the folklore of the Hawaiian people, animals and events.
Buffet’s whimsical Hawaiian world is where cows wear flower leis and bellow,
"Amoo-ha!" and road signs bear, "Baby Pig Crossing" to allow mama
piglet and her babies to cross a country road. His vibrant color palette helps evoke a
playfulness that brings out the child in every aficionado.While
some of his other works are positively Polynesian, a great deal of it is decidedly derived
from his French heritage. Depicting French sommeliers, chefs, and waiters mid-shift, Guy
consistently captures the spirit and passion of the French people and their love of fine
cuisine.
Guy’s images are now commissioned for a wealth of
items from men’s dress ties and shirts, to dinner plates, coffee cups, postcards,
calendars, and women’s wear. Buffet is also the official artist for Champagne
Perrier-Jouet with his work gracing each decorative gift box.Guy
