At that time William Adolphe Bouguereau, Benjamin Constant and Jules Lefebvre were his instructors. It was this influence that explains the controlled style of Henri Biva. The Academy had very strict attitudes toward paintings. It was this rigid attitude that divided the Academic painters and the Impressionists. He first exhibited at the l'Exposition de Blanc et Nair in 1886 with paintings "Une rue de Ville d'Avray'11 " La Nuit" and "Roses de Nice et giroffies." He also exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Francais where he won honorable mention.
