A
former international fashion
model, Robb Havassy began his
formal painting career in 1996
after receiving a
beginner's art kit as a
26th birthday present.
Entirely self -taught, his
first "traditional"
painting was a small surfing
portrait of Duke Kahanamoku
for a friend. Eleven years and
more than 1000 paintings
later, the success that
followed Robb's first
little watercolor has been
manifold, garnering him both
national and international
acclaim. Highly regarded for
his brilliant use of color as
well as his eclectic mix of
style, motion and
inspirational subject matter.
His work has been commissioned
and collected by many
stalwarts of the surf and
action sports industry, music
and fashion moguls, publishing
giants, and art lovers
world-wide. “I'm
truly very lucky to be able to
do something that I love so
much for a living,” says
Robb.
