I wish I could show photographs of the 'pond' tables. These are solidly constructed, medium-sized tables with glass tabletops. But, through the glass, sculpted from the underlying support wood, there emerges a small garden pond, replete with carved Koi fish, and all the appropriate flora and fauna. If there must be coffee tables, then let them be made by skilled and imaginative artists like the Steligas. And let no one place art books on top of them.
Art is what underlies the surface.
In the Steliga studio one has the opportunity to view current works and commissions in progress. And the final sculpture is both durable and enduring. Here is art of value.
