Wade Koniakowskys focus is capturing Polynesian dreamscapes and the related emotional tie we have with far away lands. His vibe intersects with those same emotions unspoiled, nirvana-esque landscapes, islander portraits, and ephemeral visions that make you want to sell it all and travel. Jim Moriarty- president of The Surfrider Foundation
Wade Koniakowsky, one of the nations leading ocean-inspired artists, began painting at the age of six and started surfing before he was 12. By blending these two passions, he has gained worldwide recognition for his oil paintings of tropical interpretations. Wades work is currently showcased internationally as well as in 17 galleries extending from the East Coast to Hawaii. Surfer magazine describes Wades artistic mastery as being inspired by dreamlike point breaks in Polynesian paradise. The artists work has been featured in numerous publications including Graphis, Art Direction, Communication Arts, and Print. Many of Wades signature paintings can be seen in movies, television shows and international surf competitions such as The North Shore Vans Triple Crown. Wade was a regular contributor of art for ROXY sponsored events, His designs currently adorn the custom surfboards that decorate Billabong stores nationwide. With a formal background in advertising, Wade has served as Creative Director on campaigns for such Fortune 500 brands as Taco Bell, Reebok, McDonalds, Microsoft and IBM. This 25-year commitment to the advertising industry led to more than 300 creative awards including recognition by the New York Art Directors Club and the Los Angeles Advertising Club. Following his ownership of one of San Diegos top advertising firms, Wade shifted his focus to the fulltime creation of fine art in 2002. Presently dividing his time between galleries in Hawaii and San Diego, Wade conducts painting workshops and continues to produce his unique artist renderings. He makes his home in San Diego with his wife and two daughters and continues to pursue both surfing and art. The ocean is my muse, says Wade.
