Fidalis Buehler

Fidalis Buehler is an artist influenced by his Euro-American/Pacific Island history.  The impact of his bi-racial upbringing and its divergence in the home guides his creative process. He currently resides in Utah and shows his work in regional, national, and international exhibitions.

“My work represents identity seen through the complexity of American culture and South Pacific traditions – calling attention to confrontations and conflicting realities; straddling the line between levity and earnest devotion.  My work is a self-portrait seen through forms of expanded and contracted narratives.  Image making is a ritual performed through playful conjuring – reassembling personal histories and inventing mythologies laden with fear, anxiety, dreams, revelations, magic, and mysticism.”
