Bear Flag - Mountain and Sea

In California Republic Mosaic, Nathan Gibbs breathes new life into the iconic state flag by weaving a vibrant tapestry of California’s outdoor spirit. Silhouetted surfers, skiers, hikers, anglers, and paddlers surround the legendary bear, all set within a patchwork of bold geometric colors and radiant sunbursts. The result is a dynamic, modern reinterpretation of California pride and outdoor culture.

This piece blends surf art, adventure lifestyle, and state identity into one striking, collectible statement. It’s a perfect fit for any space inspired by coastal living, nature exploration, or California dreamin’.

This California Flag series was painted on wood panel originally and depicts the flag in varied colorful forms that reflect the attitude of California. I sometimes include sports and outdoor activities as symbols of California’s active lifestyle. Let me know if you have any questions on the concept or meaning behind the surf art, I am always happy to discuss my inspirations with you!
