Simon Buret

The life of artist Simon Buret in France, Greece and North Africa has had a profound influence on his work. Buret's evolving art explores a variety of themes, ranging from vivid bursts of color conveying palpable emotions to expressions of uncommon innocence. Both singer and actor, Simon Buret experiments with a variety of disciplines to convey his own emotions and perspectives, focusing on abstract works of art inspired by nature. 

Over time, the multi-faceted artist transforms ordinary objects into timeless, artistically inspiring creations, forging a visual dialogue between strength and vulnerability. The delicate balance between mastery, control and fragility infuses a palpable tension at the heart of his work. Buret invites viewers to embrace nuance and uncertainty. Bursting with color and symbolism, his paintings transcend time and space, transporting observers into a poetic realm. 

Buret's work reflects his deep attachment to a space where history, mythology and contemporary life coexist in a mesmerizing choreography. Through intricate line work and delicate use of color, he transports the viewer into mystical contemplation. The result is a distinctive style, delicately balanced between control, mastery and fragility, giving rise to a tangible tension that resonates acutely at the heart of his art.

"In my work, I try to get as up-close as possible to my emotions, to halt them in their tracks; to grasp them and apply them, to shape them as a matter; I believe that each of us carries deep inside an invisible world, and that the work of the artist - the creative artist - consists in traversing this invisible world, bringing back a few testimonies, and sharing them in the light of day. Whatever the medium.”  - Simon Buret

A graduate of the prestigious Paris and Brussels art schools, Buret's multidimensional career contributes to the richness of his artistic expression. In 2023, the artist held an exhibition at the prestigious Sotheby's. 

Simon Buret was born in Paris, France, in 1981. He currently lives and works in Paris.
