Gil Bruvel’s visionary style grew out of the dream of making intuitive art. “I have no interest in recreating reality”, he says; instead his work emphasizes the imaginative aspects of the mind and body, along with intuition.
After a childhood spent making art and studying at Laurent de Montcassin’s Restoration Workshop in France, the classically trained Bruvel emerged as a defining force in the Visionary Art Movement.

” Heidegger described human existence as a process of perpetual falling, and it is the responsibility of each individual to “catch ourselves” from our own uncertainty. My work is in response to this delicate state. It questions what it means to resist the struggle, to simply let go, and the consequences of holding on. The images stand as reminders that we are all vulnerable to losing our footing and grasp, symbolizing the precarious balancing act between the struggle against our desire to survive and our fantasy to transcend our humanness. ”
