A genuine master of his craft, Carey Chen is gaining worldwide attention for his unparalleled portraits of life at sea. Chen's fascinating use of colors and his knack for capturing detail has catapulted him to the forefront of the marine art industry. The incredible blend of colors and exquisite detail are the trademark of each Carey Chen masterpiece. Although brilliance exudes from his work, painting is the latest endeavor in a life full of adventures.
Chen grew up with a special love for the ocean. Although his artistic abilities were apparent at an early age, Chen opted to pursue other hobbies including racing motorcycles and show cars. His spare time was spent fishing and diving off the coast of Miami and the Florida Keys.
Chen has captured the beauty of game fish in their natural habitat. After catching over 500 blue marlins all over the world and seeing them up close he has studied the anatomy of these gamefish to perfection.
With his photographic archive expanding, Chen began to sketch his memories on paper. Pleased with the initial result, Chen then experimented with acrylic paints on canvas. With each painting Chen's skills got sharper. In an effort to test his talents, Chen donated his paintings to various tournaments as prizes. Although he was at the early stages of his art career, Chen's art was well received inspiring him to continue painting.
Retired from the video business and his racing days behind him, Chen had found himself a new career. A career that allowed him to do the things his heart was telling him to do since he was a boy in Jamaica. Chen began fishing the most popular destinations with some of the top captains and anglers in the world.
When he's not in his studio or at sea, Chen spends a lot of his time preaching conservation or raising money for various charities.
Recently Chen received an award from the State Of Florida (Fish and Wildlife Conservation) for artwork, donations and teaching kids about conservation.
