Christian Riese Lassen is Hawaii’s premier marine artist. His paintings and sculptures are displayed in galleries across the United States and Japan, and his images grace an eclectic array of merchandise, from greeting cards to jigsaw puzzles, wristwatches to scuba gear. Meticulous and imaginative, Christian’s paintings depict an idealized vision of the natural world, and in particular the ocean he so loves.
A world-class surfer and windsurfer, Christian has traveled the globe in search of the perfect wave. “It is only through this direct observation of the ocean that I can accurately paint its magnificence,” he says. Inevitably, that intimate connection awakened Christian’s concern, transforming him into one of the world’s leading environmental artists.
