20 Season Accomplished in both classical music and fine art, DUAIV embeds the essence of creative inspiration in his world-renowned paintings, commissioned murals, and live performances. DUAIV met Casals when he was only 8 years old, and the cello was his natural choice, leading to his degree from the Conservatoire National de Musique in Paris, where he also studied art at the École des Beaux-Arts. It was his inspiration and work with the artist, Salvador Dali that led him to his lifelong passion of art. With the world as his canvas, DUAIV s work is a contemporary representation of Impressionism at its height. Symphony of the Americas 2300 E.
