Although Gil Bruvel�s work resists classification, the artist himself refers to his style as visionary. His luminous, meticulously detailed paintings have classical nuances that reflect his training and studies in art and history at an early age. But where his thoroughly modern, futuristic even, landscapes and visions come from is just as enigmatic as the works themselves.
Gil Bruvel was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1959 to French parents. When he was 4 years old, the family moved back to France. As a child, Gil often worked with his cabinetmaker father in the family�s workshop, learning spatial skills that would play a large role in his future work. Even as a young boy, Gil�s parents noticed his affinity for art. At a boarding school in historical Avignon, Gil�s first art teacher encouraged the 9-year-old and nurtured his obvious talent. By the young age of 12, Gil had already completed his first full-scale oil painting.
