Duaiv - France

Art Brokerage: Park West Artist: Duaiv French Artist: b. 1952. Park West Artist: Duaiv was born in 1952 in the maritime region of France near the city of Bordeaux. Duaiv was raised in an artistic environment his mother was a classical pianist and his father was a sculptor. Duaiv's primary goal as an artist is to share his art as an experience and inspire his audience. Through what he calls "Happenings," Duaiv performs spontaneous concerts at galleries and outdoor spaces before his book signings and gallery openings. Duaiv also travels aboard cruise ships frequently, inspiring audience participation through his live performances. Duaiv is inspired by Impressionist artists including Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, and Vincent van Gogh, He also draws inspiration from Dutch artists Johannes Vermeer and Frans Hals. Duaiv employs Van Gogh's moving, dynamic brush strokes, Vermeer's soft texture, and Monet's subtle palette of color into a beautiful contemporary variation of his own. Duaiv's art is a reflection of the world around him, capturing the calm of countryside landscapes, the energy of modern cities, and the personality of portraiture. The artist uses cans of paint rather than tubes, working with various sizes of palette knives and tiny brushes, often smoothing the paint with his fingers. Duaiv employs pastel colors and swirling brushstrokes in his artwork as an homage to Impressionism. Paintings and prints wanted.
