“For thousands of years the practice of yoga has united the inner essence of the self with the beauty of the human form. Individuals have often attempted to artistically portray the serenity of breath and movement realized in yoga.”- Steven Lustig
We are excited to be featuring Asana Art by Steven Lustig in our studio Villa D’Arte. We found Steven sketching yogis at a lululemon athletica ambassadorship event in Irvine, CA a few months ago and he was kind of enough to bring his talent to our recent Chocolate Fusion pairing event here at The Retreat In Laguna.
This art is born out of a love of the human form and its natural motion. It is powerful, passionate, and embraces both human and natural forms. Steven was born and raised near the North Shore of Chicago where he began drawing at a age five. In high school he met a regionally known sculptor and began his fine arts education. During that time, Steven was given a copy of Gray’s Anatomy. He became fascinated by what he saw and immediately began to draw directly from the book, changing the course of his life and starting a lifelong study of the human form.
With a background in Bio-technical illustration and computer graphics, Steven has drawn, painted and sculpted thousands of interpretations of the human form in his own distinctive style, supplying creative illustrations to the Life Science, Medical Device and Healthcare industries.
Steven currently teaches a stone sculpting class at the Laguna College of Art and Design and his fascination with drawing the human form continues to ignite his creative talent, providing him with an endless supply of material.
We are currently showing 3 of Steven’s pieces in our Villa D’Arte and you can see more of his collection at www.asanaart.com. Steven with also be sketching live at our upcoming Chocolate Fusion event on Oct 6th from 6:30-8:30pm at French 75 Bistro & Champagne Bar in Laguna Beach.
