Pedro J. du BUf

Contemporary Artist in the Zaandam & Amsterdam Region

About me

As a contemporary artist based in the Zaandam & Amsterdam region, my life has been a journey of constant movement and transformation.
Born in Bogotá, raised across Switzerland and Portugal, and now deeply rooted here in the Zaan region. Navigating different languages and cultures from an early age taught me one fundamental truth: art is the universal translator.

“Art doesn’t need to be complex or elitist. It’s about creating a moment of calm, sparking a feeling, or starting a genuine conversation.”

My daughter as compass

As a devoted father to my daughter and an artist who has weathered many personal storms, I seek simplicity, peace, and authenticity in my work.

Art as a invitation to connect

My collections, such as the Dimensions series and intuitive pieces like ‘Inner Eye’, are born from pure feeling before the first brushstroke is placed.

Me and the abstract artworld

To me, abstract art isn’t a riddle you need to “figure out”. It’s a mirror. What you see in a painting reflects your own story. Whether you are looking for a striking statement piece for a modern interior in Amsterdam or a warm, spiritually grounded artwork for a home in the Zaan region, my goal is to bring depth and inspiration to your walls.

Driven by a Deep Connection to Nature

Art as a Voice for Conservation

My fascination with the natural world has always been at the heart of my creative journey. Through my Endangered Animals illustration series, I turn fine-liner ink work and vector design into a platform for wildlife awareness. Each piece is crafted not just to showcase the intricate beauty of threatened species like the Siberian Lynx, Pangolin, and Tarsier, but to spark meaningful conversations about conservation, biodiversity, and our responsibility to protect the planet’s most vulnerable creatures.
