IN THE MANNER OF DUAIV, Duaív was born in 1952 in the maritime region of France near the city of Bordeaux. He’s traveled the world as a classical musician and accomplished painter, receiving accolades for his incredible work in service of nurturing and promoting the arts. With the world as his canvas, Duaív’s work is a contemporary representation of Impressionism at its height. When Duaív was just three years old, he picked up his first paintbrush, but at the dismay of his parents, the walls of his home became his first canvas. Nevertheless, By the time he was nine, Duaív completed his first oil painting. Still in his early years, Duaív’s family moved to a nearBy island off the coast of France, which inspired Duaív’s love of boats and coastal scenery. His mother was a classical pianist and his father was a sculptor, so Duaív was raised in a very artistic environment. Although he began showing a natural talent for painting at such a young age, his father didn’t want him to become an artist – so he bought him a cello. The cello was a fitting choice for Duaív, who had met renowned cellist Pablo Casals when he was only eight. With his new instrument, he continued to practice, but chose not to leave his painting behind.
