Peter Buchner - the artist-painter
Very early Peter Buchner found out his love for drawing and painting. He orientated himself at the pictures from artists like Chagall with his fantastic colour-orgy as also the genial art of Salvador Dali.
Always driven by a self-imposed law for the absolut aesthetics for his pictures, he started to learn - as a convinced autodidakt - all the technics and methods of painting by himself, till at the end he mastered them as good to create new technics of his own. His pictures are all unaccustomedly expressive, they are „touching everybodies soul“ and the spectrum of themes is very large.
It didn't take so long and Peter Buchner created some wonderful art-labels for his own wine-bottles taking the historical ideal of „Mouton Rothschild“ and surpass it even. This way a wonderful serial of pictures on his wine-labels arised - for example the cycle about „Carnival at Venice“, which is very wellknown and popular for costumers and collectors in all over the world.
The authors Wolfgang Hubert and Heike Reith from the „Stern“-magazine reported very detailed about the artist-painter Peter Buchner in their book „Art on wine-labels“ whereon many invites from all over Europe followed.
Now Peter Buchner is painting for relaxation and sometimes he is also portraying the charming artist-bears created lovingly by his wife and fabulous bear-artist Heike Buchner.

Peter Buchner - the miniature-artist
As his wife is one of the wellknown bear-artists, Peter Buchner wanted to try out how small a teddy-bear could be graved. First of all he created an 12 mm (0,47 inch) tall bear. After that he startet to create a graved bear out of ivory - tall about 7 mm (0,27 inch). The tools for working those bears were created also by himself. Therefore he used to take needles from the bear-work of his wife and using the microscope he grinded the needle by taking a diamand-tool. With such a special tool made all by himself he was able to make a bear about 3 mm (0,11 inch) tall. And it didn't need much time and Peter Buchner created the smallest bear in all over the world, this bear measures unbelievably 1,5mm (0,06 inch) and is all made by the hands of Peter Buchner out of the material ivory!
This carved Teddybear is 1,5 mm (0,059 inch) tall and he is standing on the top of a match.
Mr. Peter Buchner, an artist-painter from Passau, created this little bear out of ivory.
He was inspired by his wife, Heike Buchner, a very famous Bear-artist, and out of a whimsey he created first of all a Teddy-Bear that was 12 mm (0,47 inch) tall, than he carved a Teddy-Bear about 7 mm (0,275 inch) and finally he created a Teddy-Bear perfectly plastic out of ivory 3 mm (0,118 inch) tall.
But Peter Buchner was not happy again with his work, and he took all his ambition and he wanted to know, if there would be a possibility to create a smaller Teddy-bear.
At the end – sitting with his microscope – he carved the smallest Teddy-bear the world had ever seen out of ivory – 1,5 mm (0,059 inch) tall.
The tools for carving this tiny bear were all created by Peter Buchner himself, always using his microscope – finally he took some sewing needles from his wife and sanded them with diamand-disks the way he needed them.
Normaly the art-painter Peter Buchner is painting other pictures. He is wellknown for his works 2.9. out of the series "Carneval in Venice", collectors do know him also from various art-labels for famous wine-bottles. But as he loves his wife, who is the wellknown bear-artist Heike Buchner, he startet to paint her adorable bears in delicate watercolour Aquarell-pictures.
