The Feeling of Paradise - In My Brush Strokes

Capturing the Movement of Light & Water

It's More Than a View — It's A Way of Life

It's More Than a View — It's A Way of Life

Original tropical seascape painting by Alan Zawacki

I’m drawn to the magic of Caribbean water -- the way sunlight dances across the surface, creating shimmering patterns and endless shades of blue and green. My challenge as an artist is to translate that shifting depth and movement onto canvas.

Many collectors ask me to create one-of-a-kind commissioned works: a favorite beach, a honeymoon destination, or a cherished vacation memory. These commissions often become anniversary gifts, birthday surprises, or meaningful holiday treasures.
