Must see Mural work done in minutes

The creative forces of Cory & Laura Jurica give insight into their talents with this time lapse video while they paint an awesome mural of the Palazzo Vecchio, commissioned by the owners of this house in Windermere, Florida. The Video itself is about 2.5 minutes long, condensed down from 6 hours of video. The actual project took them just under 30 hours to complete.

Support for the Environment

Most emails we get say they appreciate the statement made by our recycled art. In the emails they often mention they want do more to help the environment in other ways than just suburbia trash recycling programs, but they don't know where to start, or don't have the time to write to their congressman about all the issues they would like to address.

SO... We have a great place to start! Check out our friends at the Natural Resources Defense Council - NRDC is a group comprised of business professionals, scientists, backed with a score of lawyers and supported by high profile directors, artists and actors who are strong advocates committed to saving our Natural Resources and promoting Green Living.

This link takes you to their action fund site where you can choose the campaign that moves you the most. You are able to select from various contributions to better the environment, whether it be as simple as adding your own mission statement, to putting your name on petitions to congress, to charitable donations in the name of environmental health that benefits every one's future.

Highly textured fine art by the juricas adds sophistication to any space

the work.

Unique visual texture and intriguing design only begins to define this work, already in a category of it’s own. "The process we've developed...” Jurica states, "...combines both fresco techniques indigenous to Europe and Mediterranean, while embracing paper making processes derived from Thailand and the Orient."

Over the years, Cory Jurica’s work has been showcased as a conglomerate collage effort, entwining his textured designs with select Artisans, some of whose work have hung in the Smithsonian. The bulk of the conglomerate collage works have been released in South and Central Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and regions of Russia.

the craft.
Like all original artwork, each piece is created with an individual persona in it's own right. The Jurica's tie the whole piece together by refurbished 'antiquated' frames, taking them apart, rebuilding them into large shadowbox frames. "Most of the frames you see here are two and one half and some are over five... (inches deep)." Cory says, "We sometimes size the artwork based on the old frame we've acquired, and once the the final prep is ready to mount and glass, we refinish the frame in such a way as to - to accentuate the piece, to tie the whole package together..." Cory mentions he has built multiple custom frames from scratch, especially for the pieces that exceed 36 inches wide. "Naturally, larger pieces are going to be more labor intensive, but what an impact they do make on a room!"

When asked about requests Cory says, "I welcome commissions, I enjoy the challenge of designing -matching a piece of work to a room. It's a unique thing since many decorators go the other route: design a room to match the art. It's also interesting to build ideas with other individuals, finding out what their tastes are, always allowing artistic precedence... then run with those ideas to a finished product. I believe there is a real thrill for many people to say, "I had a hand in the artist's design for this work here." It makes for a real conversation piece."

the artists.
Earmarked here are their statements concerning the subject of art. " We believe art is a reflection of many things. To us, true art is based with what I call the three primary reflections, just like the three primary colors - red, blue, and yellow. These three primary reflections are creation, symbiosis, and enjoyment.

The first, through creating the work, reflects the passion of the artist, the connection between the application, the medium, the process itself, the creator and the created… a sense of "one-ness"... a bond with the piece.

The next reflection, Symbiosis. The impact of the piece, another aspect of reflection, is ultimately with the aficionado - the viewer. Maybe it is felt from the appreciation of the artistic process. Perhaps it's a connection the viewer feels, the residual passion of the artist's expression. Perhaps it’s as simple as the interior designer visually getting the right color and style that ties a whole room together.

Some artists say they do work to please themselves alone but for us this is not the case. Similar to the creative work we do for Disney, it is for everyone to appreciate and enjoy. It is an attempt for others to reach out and experience emotional ties on multiple levels. It's the use color, the texture, the asymmetry that makes one almost salivate. That's the connection and passion that drives us to create... to relate... to reflect... to enjoy."
