Duaiv (b. France in 1952, became American citizen in 2011)."Les 2 Arches" watercolor on paper, 2016. Hand-signed in ink on lower right by the artist. Hand titled on the lower left. A beautiful watercolor painting of a double arched bridge over a glistening canal by contemporary artist Duaiv, set in an attractive custom frame. Scholars have noted Duaiv's admiration for Monet and Van Gogh; however, while Duaiv has certainly embraced the lessons of French Impressionism as well as Post-Impressionist art, he has also created his own unique style, transcending the boundaries of those movements with his mystifying compositions. Size of artwork: 4.25" L x 7" W (10.8 cm x 17.8 cm) Size of frame: 16.25" L x 19.125" W (41.3 cm x 48.6 cm)
Born in Charentes-Maritimes near Bordeaux in western France, Duaiv studied at both the Conservatory of Music and the School of Fine Arts in Paris. Recognized for his multiple talents, Duaiv has traveled internationally as both an accomplished artist and a classical musician.
