Ocean Wave Paintings in Motion

By Waves on in Featured, SCW Staff Favorites, Videos

Original seascape oil paintings by Santa Cruz California artist Marc Christian Kunze. Marc grew up along the California coast but spent over 13 years living on the Hawaiian Islands. With a real passion for surfing, Marc Christian Kunze has spent almost as much time in the ocean as on land. From an early age Marc has enjoyed painting waves from both photographs as well as memory. Marc Christian Kunze utilizes oils on canvas ranging in size from 11/14 – 36/44. Waves approach our shores in various shapes and sizes, but there are similarities that allow an artist to capture, depth, motion, shadow and lighting. Most of Marc’s seascape and wave paintings come from a surfers perspective. Waves that break over unique sand bars and reefs produce a unique shape, coveted by surfers worldwide. Marc Christian Kunze work has been featured in many galleries, show and exhibitions throughout the United States. Enjoy the video along with the inspiration and peace that naturally flow from ocean waves.

    Fantastic work by Mark Kunze. Waves have got to be one of the most difficult things to paint …. a moving target!
    Love the work, well done.

    We have several of Marc’s paintings in our home. He is quite a gifted artist. He seems to possess the unique ability to capture the local Santa Cruz seascape environment and transport it to a broad audience who appreciates fine art. Really well done Mr. Kunz!

    I bought a painting from Marc Christian Kunze a few years ago and it hangs in my office. Every time I look at it it brings a peace to me. It’s like having an ocean view at work. You won’t be disappointed if you purchase one!

    I’ve known Marc Christian Kunze for a couple of years now. He’s a great guy and a great painter. You can see that he, being a surfer, has a deep knowledge of his subject, not only how it looks, but also how it feels.
