Claude Gaveau was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France on December 5, 1940.

Claude Gaveau is an internationally acclaimed master celebrated for his nudes and still life compositions. His works are harmonious with a brilliant palette of vibrant colors that seem to be overlaid with silk giving a soft and subtle result. Gaveau’s art has been described by many critics and fellow artists as “Symphonic” orchestrating the elements to create perfectly balanced compositions that are withdrawn from reality yet not quite abstract, offering a sense of mystery rather than a clear definition.

His works capture the beauty and innocence of flowers and the female form he paints with his brush. Gaveau has created a style all of his own that is immediately identifiable and enjoyable.
