“From Surfing Waves to Painting Canvases: Steffi Aless Kerson’s ‘Erosion’ Exhibition Makes Waves in the Art World”
Renowned professional surfer-turned-contemporary artist, Steffi Aless Kerson, is set to make her debut in the art world with her highly anticipated solo exhibition titled “Erosion.” The exhibition, featuring seven captivating large-scale abstract paintings, will be held at Kerson’s Chelsea studio on Thursday, June 22nd.
Kerson, known for her fearless approach to riding waves on some of the world’s most challenging coastlines, has now channeled her passion and energy into creating extraordinary works of art. “Erosion” serves as a visual exploration of the dynamic relationship between the natural world and human interaction.
Inspired by the ever-changing nature of the ocean and its profound impact on coastal landscapes, Kerson’s paintings evoke a sense of movement, depth, and transformation. Her mastery of color and texture captures the essence of erosion, depicting both the power and fragility of our environment.

Drawing upon her intimate knowledge of the ocean’s rhythms, she skillfully translates the ebb and flow of waves into mesmerizing compositions that stir the emotions of viewers.
“‘Erosion’ is my attempt to capture the beauty and impermanence of nature, as well as the human impact on our fragile ecosystems,” explains Kerson. “Through my art, I hope to raise awareness about the urgent need for environmental conservation and inspire others to appreciate the awe-inspiring power of our planet.”
