As a skilled painter and watercolorist, he specialized in religious subjects, figures, portraits, scenes with figures, market scenes, genre scenes, and landscapes. Under the mentorship of Charles Comte, Grivolas advanced to teach at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Avignon, later becoming its director in 1878. His works were showcased at the Paris Salon between 1864 and 1882, marking him as one of Provence's pioneering plein-air artists. His watercolors, known for their purity, have often been compared to those of Cezanne.
