Imre Buvary: A Life Devoted to Beauty and Tradition

Imre Buvary, born in 1937 in Budapest, Hungary, has gracefully retired after more than six decades of a distinguished painting career. Now enjoying the tranquil beauty of Northern California's Bay Area, Buvary, at 87 years young, reflects on a life richly lived through art.

Buvary’s artistic journey culminated in his final five years of painting, where he passionately captured the essence of Napa Valley’s wineries and landscapes. During this period, he created over one hundred 5 x 7” miniature original oil paintings, a testament to his dedication and love for the region. These works, cherished by collectors, have become a rare commodity. Canvas giclée prints of these original oils are available in a 10 x 8” size, allowing admirers to own a piece from this remarkable collection.

A disciplined and dedicated artist, Buvary is a staunch advocate of the standards of classic and romantic art. Unwavering in his commitment to traditional aesthetics, he embraces the timeless concepts of beauty that have captivated humankind throughout history. Unlike many of his contemporaries who seek to shock or excite, Buvary’s art is a serene celebration of peace, harmony, and love. His works invite viewers to step away from the chaos of modern life and find solace in the tranquil beauty he so masterfully captures.

Imre Buvary’s art is distinguished not only in the United States but also across Europe, where his adherence to the time-honored techniques of the 18th and 19th-century European masters has earned him acclaim. A gentle soul, Buvary’s creations transcend fleeting trends, offering instead a timeless, eloquent reminder of the simple yet profound concept of beauty. His masterful use of composition and color allows us a moment of pause, a tranquil space in time to appreciate the elegance and grace of his work.

Throughout his career, Buvary has been featured on CBS Television and has exhibited in numerous prestigious exhibitions across the United States and Europe, including in Budapest, Bulgaria, Amsterdam, London, and Vienna. His work, admired and collected by many, resides in significant collections, including that of Ronald and Nancy Reagan. For Buvary, the greatest reward is knowing that his art continues to bring joy and serenity to those who experience it, a fitting legacy for a modest and gifted artist.
