Art Brokerage: Roman Czerwinski's interest in art began in his early teens but did not fully manifest until after he was forced to flee Poland, emigrated to the US, and eventually moved to Maui in 1984. Roman's style evolved over time from realism to impressionism. Maui's lush tropical beauty and vivid colors inspire him with a sense of excitement that spills over into his art. "I love the ocean," he explains. "I want my art to reflect the joy that comes from living on this island surrounded by water and I hope to share my happiness with those who have experienced this beauty as well. Discovering some of Maui's peaceful, virgin areas is very rewarding. I experience an intensity and power even in the peacefulness." Within a few months he had became one of our top-selling artists and is already making a name for himself internationally.
