Zaan Claassens
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.
My partner, Carlos, and I relocated from South Africa to the Sunshine Coast in 2019. He designed and we built the studio of my dreams in 2020. It is a beautiful space filled with absolute peace and tranquillity. The 500-square-foot open space is free-standing from the main house and located in the level garden.
I look forward to participating in my fourth art crawl and sharing my oil paintings and bronze sculptures with you. There is plenty of room to sit under the verandah, protected from the rain. So please do pop in, come rain or shine.
