André Buzin is a Belgian draftsman and nature painter of birds and other animals, flowers and butterflies. Since 1985, he has been a permanent designer of stamps in Belgium on behalf of Bpost.

Attracted to nature, he trained in the plastic and graphic arts and initially focused on dinanderie (collective name for copper art objects (brass), such as choir lecterns, candlesticks and religious vessels). The term is derived from the Belgian city of Dinant.
Armed with a camera, he got to know nature and especially the animals living in Belgium, which he subsequently reproduced on his drawing board.

New stamps of birds and cultivated flowers are released almost every year.
Special assignments include the Ghent Floralies (1990 and 1995), Belgian Dog Breeds (1986), European Year of the Environment (1987), Ducks (1989), Butterflies (1993), Bees and Apiculture (1997), Mammals of the Ardennes (1998), 25 years of high flyers (2010), Buzin Anders (2014), Animals in Motion (2015), Het Nieuwe Zwin (2016, in collaboration with Marijke Meersman), De Hoge Venen (2017, in collaboration with Marijke Meersman), Lidelen (2018) , Animals at work (2019) and Europe's Big 5 (2020).
Previously he also designed stamps for Luxembourg (2000, 2002 and 2008), Congo (1984-2002), Mauritania (1986-1988), Rwanda (1984-1989), Senegal (1986-1991) and Zaire (1984-1997).
About 150 personal stamps ( DuoStamp/MyStamp ) of Buzin have been released by various organizations.

Maximum cards are provided with the stamps.
These have a wide variation in postmarks and images (original illustration, illustration by another artist, photo).
Buzin cards have also been used as Maximum Card for other stamps (e.g. in the Netherlands and France).

Bpost has provided three books: The Birds of André Buzin .
