Lassen Mana watercolor portrait, previously featured in an art magazine, depicts a female figure and is a masterpiece. It is also a rare and precious unique gold foil ocean artwork, guaranteed authentic. The description of the work: "Mana" is a paper-based piece created by Lassen in 1996, an important work included in Lassen's complete works "Lassen's Art: The Secret Path" (page 195).While Lassen is known for his ocean art, this piece transcends that framework, being a rare series focusing on bodily expression and sacred themes. Even within portraiture, this work is meticulously crafted, with the gold foil version being unavailable on the market, including prints.The core of this piece lies in the treatment of gold foil behind the female figure. The gold foil is not simply laid down but irregularly torn, rubbed, and embellished in a floating manner, allowing light to diffuse in particle form, creating an illusion of spiritual waves in space.The texture of this gold foil can be interpreted as a visual representation of the symbolic meaning of "Mana" (life energy) in Hawaiian mythology. "Mana" means "power," "vitality," "prestige," and "charm," referring to supernatural forces or energies present in people, objects, nature, etc., and is also the origin of the term "magic energy" (MP) in games.The female figure in the painting is depicted using a combination of watercolor and pastel, with Lassen's iconic cobalt blue lines running through, seemingly representing internal warmth. The structure of the work shifts the light and shadow representation of ocean works onto the figure, with the uniqueness of the piece being that the figure itself is luminous.Especially the blue strokes extending from the shoulders to the arms evoke rhythms of underwater waves and light columns, indicating the artist's theme shift towards the "fusion of nature and life." The woman's arms reaching towards the sky, more than a prayer pose, directly embody the cycle of life energy, showcasing a powerful force never before seen in ocean art.This is the most symbolically significant theme in Lassen's portrait paintings, strongly reflecting the artist's spiritual world.Lassen's watercolor, pastel, and gold foil mixed technique created in the 1990s is extremely exquisite, fully showcasing the weight of his works. Large original artworks are becoming increasingly rare in the market, making this piece particularly valuable.

The piece is in good condition, making it extremely difficult to obtain, and being a masterpiece itself, it holds significant collectible value due to its inclusion in the complete works.Artist: Christian Riese LassenTitle: ManaTechnique: Watercolor on paper, pastel, gold foilSignature: Artist's original signatureArtwork dimensions: 103 cm x 66 cmCondition: Overall goodFrame dimensions: 146.6 cm x 111 cmFrame condition: Scratches, corner cracks, agingAccessories/Notes: Packaging box/Year of production: 1996
