My name is Zaan Claassens, and I’m a professional artist living on Canada’s beautiful Pacific West Coast in Halfmoon Bay. The work I create is collected globally, with a speciality in custom, large-scale oil paintings of water. I do this for private homes and public spaces such as offices, hotels, resorts, and luxury yachts.
Inspired by the beauty of the natural world, particularly the ocean, my style is characterised by technical skill and deep attention to light, vibrant colour, and detail. A visit to my studio offers an inspiring experience through oil paintings of water reflections, introspective self-portraits, and figurative bronze sculptures.
I invite you to find joy in connecting with these creations, as my art is a celebration of life in all its fullness.
