Me, café Sion 2023
Luis Büchner 
born in 1958, 
lives in Loc / VS
Art has always been the driving force behind my actions, a primordial force that guides my steps in this complex world. Among the multiple forms of artistic expression, it is music and photography that have often won my favor, each offering a unique echo to my emotions. However, about fifteen years ago, painting imposed itself on me as an alternative channel of expression, a path where colors and shapes dialogue with my soul in unexpected ways. Most of my canvases wander in the labyrinth of abstraction, exploring inner territories where words struggle to find their place. I paint what I feel, what I want to make others feel, letting my brushes dance to the rhythm of my deepest emotions. Each brushstroke is a sketch of my soul, each blend of colors a silent symphony telling ineffable stories. Painting is much more than a simple activity for me; it is an inner journey, an escape to worlds where reality merges with imagination. It is a means of authentic expression, devoid of linguistic or cultural barriers, where each canvas becomes the mirror of my most intimate thoughts. I love for my works to be seen, admired, critiqued, even unsettling. Because for me, art cannot be passive. It must shake consciences, challenge conventions, question established certainties. Each painting I create is an invitation to dialogue, a call to reflection, a challenge thrown to those who dare to look beyond appearances.
Abstract art holds a privileged place in my heart by capturing the very essence of emotion frozen in time, like aphotographic snapshot of the soul. It always remains imbued with mystery, inviting the beholder to plunge into the abyss of their own feelings, in search of their own truth. Thus, for me, art is a perpetual movement, a constant effervescence where creativity unfolds freely, without hindrance or limits. And through my canvases, I strive to capture the ephemeral, to give shape to the elusive, to convey the unspeakable, in the hope of touching the hearts and minds of those who cross my path.
