Biography Michel Buret

Painter of another reality: A work between imagination and sensitivity

After more than 40 years of figurative painting, a new universe emerged in 2005, marking a radical shift towards more immaterial creations. At that time, a technique evoking the effects of collage allowed for a more intuitive and sensory expression, far from the codes of pure abstraction. His universe, mixing mineral, biological, vegetal, marine, celestial and futuristic, dialogues with the viewer in an instinctive way, inviting each one to a unique experience, oscillating between emotional sharing and deep reflection.
