New Outdoor Art Beckons to Dilettantes at PGA Commons
Today, the “art” of living is on public display at PGA Commons in Palm Beach Gardens, featuring several new, larger-than-life installations by two influential artists.
Renowned, international artist Steve Zaluski has created aluminum love letters to nature with “The Sphere of Hope” and “Silver Waves.” Each 7-foot sculpture is composed of coated aluminum and depicts characteristics found in both human nature and Mother Nature.
“The Sphere of Hope represents the community and people working together in love, peace, and harmony,” says Steve. “Silver Waves was inspired by the water. It depicts the strength and energy of the proverbial waves we ride throughout our lives.”
A self-declared dreamer and Long Island resident, Steve attended Stony Brook University where he pursued a degree in art and education. Currently, his work is on display throughout the United States at various top hospitals (Boston Children’s Hospital and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital), banking institutions (Bank of America), and major corporations (Nike, AT&T, and Pfizer). South Florida fans can view Steve’s art at Onessimo Fine Art.
Argentine-born, American-based artist and sculptor Cecilia Lueza, studied visual arts at the University of La Plata in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Today, she is well known for creating vibrant pieces in a range of mixed media. Her latest artistic offering, “Dual Nature II,” is a vivid, double-sided work of art that delves into the human psyche, with an emphasis on upbeat mysticism and earthliness.
“My work explores different states of mind through transformation, fantasy, and nature. Dual Nature II is a whimsical sculpture that creates the illusion of movement and depth through color and form,” says Cecilia. “In the recurrent and unrestrained usage of primary colors, the result is mixed media that is both complex and visually stimulating. I wanted it to reverberate in the soul without analysis.”
Cecilia’s work has been exhibited at Art Miami, Arteamericas, and SCOPE Miami. Her public art pieces are on display in Washington, D.C., Miami, and Atlanta. South Florida fans can also view Cecilia’s art at Onessimo Fine Art.
“Sculpture adds a living element to a space. It interacts with light and shading, and invites you to touch it,” says Debra Onessimo of Onessimo Fine Art, whose gallery features work by world-renowned artists, including Cecelia Lueza and Steve Zaluski. “Outdoor sculpture does the same, but allows you to add your own expression in juxtaposition to nature.”
