Gil Bruvel is a visionary artist, capable of translating complex ideas and fleeting
impressions into stunning works of art. His curiosity about the human condition and the
workings of the human mind is honed through daily meditative practice. His art emerges
from a deep contemplation of images, emotions, and sensations, which he refines
continually before he casts them into material form.
