His vibe intersects with those same emotions\u2013unspoiled, nirvana-esque landscapes, islander portraits, and ephemeral visions that make you want to sell it all and travel.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Jim Moriarty, President, Surfrider Foundation<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">As one of the nation\u2019s leading ocean-inspired artists, Wade began painting at the age of 6 and started surfing before he was 12. By blending these two passions, he has gained worldwide recognition for his oil paintings of tropical interpretations. Koniakowsky\u2019s ability to capture the majesty of the sea, coupled with notable partnerships like ROXY, Billabong, and glowing recognition from Jim Moriarty, President of the Surfrider Foundation- are all factors that have led Wade to be widely collected both privately and publicly by figures like NFL super bowl champion Troy Polamalu, who owns over two dozen of Koniakowsky\u2019s pieces.<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesignaturegallery.com\/artists\/wade-koniakowsky\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/chp-art.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wade-koniakowsky\/200\/_artist.jpg\" alt=\"wade koniakowsky laguna beach\" width=\"200\" height=\"258\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">In an interview with Surfd Magazine Wade stated,<\/p>\n<h3><em>\u201cSurfing is very sensory and very visual.
