BOUFFIGNY 's paintings in which the atmosphere of the
landscape of Normandy and the artist are strongly tied
one to another reveal every feature of a innermost fusion
of the soul, the mind and the senses. As a painter, no
one can be more contemplative,(to the true meaning of
the word,). That means a close relationship to Nature,an
inner and outer harmony.wich are sensed in the shades
of the landscape that he loves to paint on location, The
artist uses the figurative mode in order to express his
huge sensibility and to spread the warmth of emotions
wich is typical of paintings made on location. Being as
skilled as the impressionnists ,as far as colours and
values are concerned, Yves BOUFFIGNY is definitely a landscape
painter whose subtle manner is rather gentle and refined
than lyrical."

excerpt of an article published in Valeurs de l'Art
(art magazine)
Yves BOUFFIGNY remains faithfull to the tradition of
the School of Rouen, as he is always in search of the
light and the atmospheres of upper Normandy. His style
reveals a spontaneous technique, an awareness of the
movement and the smoothness of the material that he
handles brilliantly.
His depictions of the older streets of Rouen and of
the banks of the river Seine are conspiscuous and the
way he captures the changing colours of cliffs at different
moments of the day is remarkable ."
