Christian Riese Lassen, Hawaii's master artist of the sea, grew up on the beautiful island of Maui. A world class surfer and windsurfer, his total involvement with the ocean has inspired some of the most beautiful and popular works of art in modern history.
Mr. Lassen uses painting methods created by the Old Masters, employing layering and glazing techniques that make vibrant sunsets and transparent tropical waves come alive with radiant light. The artist gained recognition while still in his twenties as his works began to appear in major galleries in Hawaii. In just a few years Lassen became one of the world's best selling artists. Internationally acclaimed by critics and public alike, his paintings are owned by a host of famous art lovers including Elton John and Anthony Quinn. Major Lassen commissions include the United Nations and the Walt Disney Company.
Today, most Lassen collectors buy beautiful fine art limited edition signed and numbered graphics. These start at $2700-$3500. Original masterpieces command $200,000 and up.
