Bouyssou, born near Honfleur in 1926, grew up in an environment that nurtured his artistic talent. His family home became a gathering place for celebrated artists such as Friez, Dufy, Lagar, and Leprin, who greatly influenced his early development as both mentors and teachers. His natural ability was quickly recognized, leading to his first solo exhibition in London in 1955. This was followed by an invitation from the renowned Parisian art dealer Katia Granoff in 1956 to exhibit under her sponsorship, beginning a significant relationship that supported many of his future solo shows.

A pivotal moment in Bouyssou’s career came in 1987 when he was named an official painter of the French Navy, a prestigious recognition that underscored his mastery. One of his works now resides in the permanent collection of the Musée de la Marine in Paris. His paintings, celebrated for their exceptional ability to capture light and atmosphere, have been acquired by prominent museums and private collectors worldwide. Art critic Maybon commended his work, stating that Bouyssou "knows how to capture the passing light, how to create an atmosphere," highlighting the combination of technical precision and sensitivity in his art.

Bouyssou’s career includes exhibitions at major French salons and prestigious venues around the globe, including the United States, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, England, Sweden, Taiwan, Japan, Brazil, and Venezuela. His works are part of significant collections such as the New York Public Library, the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, and the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, U.K. Through his distinctive style and international presence, Bouyssou has established himself as one of the most recognized and respected contemporary French artists of his time.
