Jul 27, 2022

The delicate and complex artwork "Onde Della Terra," or Waves of the Earth in English, consists of 30 pieces, fit together with meticulous precision, depicting the elements of nature in perfect harmony

Beverly Hills, California Jul 26, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - Art takes many forms, from strokes of colors on a canvas to a combination of stained glasses complementing each other. It is a way for artists to turn their imagination into reality, give meaning to their abstract ideas and share something unique with the world. Csilla Soós is no different when it comes to crafting meaningful art. She has been making eye-catching stain-glass art for over 25 years, and "Onde Della Terra" is one of her many prized works.

In her 25 years of well-established career, Csilla's art has made its way into several European countries and even received praise in the United States. Contrary to the typical stained glass artwork that's mostly limited to traditional pieces, Csilla's art form has uniquely evolved into a combination of traditional and modern practices.

The artist is one of the few who can create their own stained glass designs that capture the beauty of nature. To bring her unique design concepts to reality, she has to go through the process of fitting together glass pieces having curves, edges, and waves, which can be challenging and time-consuming. It requires focus, attention to detail, patience, and precision to make a magnificent piece of art out of raw glass pieces, which can be seen in her work.

The intricate design of her recently sold masterpiece "Onde Della Terra" is a labor of love and appreciation for nature. It consists of 30 glass pieces that harmonize all the elements of earth, emanating a sense of power.

"This work of art is one of my favorites. Onde Della Terra (Waves of the Earth in English). I've always loved nature, wandering in nature, land, water, good air, and plants. Through this creation, I wanted to draw attention to the beauty of the materials that surround us. Earth, water, air, and fire also appear through creation. A collective cavalcade of them forms our lives anyway. It reminds us that these elements must be in harmony with each other in order for the whole picture to be in one, or as if the elements of our lives should also fit together in such a soft and playful way." Said Csilla Soós

The Onde Della Terra is a massive piece of art having dimensions of 90 cm x 130 cm or 35" x 51", covering a total of 1.17 m2 of area. What's more, it weighs around 25lbs or 12+ kgs, a result of encompassing 30 pieces of stained glass. With the amount of work, thoughtfulness, patience, precision, and time that went into crafting this masterpiece, no wonder it was auctioned off for a whopping $38,000.

Besides capturing the wonders of nature in her art, Csilla Soós also loves to stain church glass windows and has completed over 30 projects so far. A glimpse of her church artwork can be seen on her gallery website. Due to her outstanding work, she was also awarded an apostolic blessing from Pope Francis in 2016.

After selling her art pieces across Europe, Csilla Soós is now focusing on making her artwork available in the U.S in 2022, starting in the Sunshine State of Florida. Art enthusiasts can view Csilla Soós' work on her website and get inspired by the masterpieces she has crafted over the years.

Old kings, new kingdoms

THE NBA is back, and for the first time in years, the Eastern Conference looks every bit as dangerous as the West. The New York Knicks are defending champions, LeBron James has found another kingdom to rule, and the Miami Heat have assembled enough firepower to make The Association sweat. Out West, the kids are growing up, the veterans refuse to surrender, and the Los Angeles Clippers are, well, still the Clippers. Welcome to the 2026–2027 season, where old kings refuse to abdicate and new kingdoms are being built. Me thinks this could be the most competitive season in years. Let’s start in the East, where I see a three-horse race involving the Knicks, Heat and Philadelphia 76ers, with the Cleveland Cavaliers lurking dangerously in the background. The Knicks finally ended their 53-year championship drought last season. Jalen Brunson has proven you don’t need to be 6-foot-8 to dominate The Association. New York has the continuity, chemistry and swagger of a defending champion. Speaking of Boston, I believe the Celtics are toast. Sure, Jayson Tatum is back, but losing Jaylen Brown changes everything. Talent alone doesn’t win championships, and Boston’s window may already be closing. Miami, however, is an entirely different animal. With Giannis Antetokounmpo joining Bam Adebayo, the Heat have arguably the East’s most intimidating frontcourt. Add the tactical genius of our kababayan Erik Spoelstra, and Miami becomes a legitimate championship threat. Spoelstra has squeezed deep playoff runs out of lesser rosters. Imagine what he can accomplish with the Greek Freak roaming South Beach. And don’t overlook Pelle Larsson, a gem off Miami’s bench who could become a difference-maker. The Swedish guard brings the energy and scoring punch championship teams need when their stars rest. One worrying development, though, is Klay Thompson’s miserable preseason shooting. The four-time champion made just 3-of-20 attempts from beyond the arc, an atrocious 15 percent. That’s hardly what Miami ordered from one of basketball’s greatest shooters. Not to worry. No. 10 is there (unretired because he’s Killer Crossover’s son). Tim Hardaway Jr. is himself a three-point savant, having connected on 224 triples last season at a sterling 40.7-percent clip. Between Hardaway, Thompson and Larsson, Spoelstra should have plenty of options around Giannis and Bam. Wouldn’t it be something if our kababayan added another championship to his résumé? Then there’s Philadelphia, where LeBron begins his record 24th NBA season alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and former Celtic Brown. Twenty-four seasons! Some players entering The Association weren’t even born when LeBron made his debut. The Sixers are loaded, but their biggest opponent might be Father Time. Can Embiid stay healthy? Can LeBron still summon his playoff brilliance? And can all those stars coexist without demanding separate basketballs? Cleveland, meanwhile, has Donovan Mitchell and enough talent to spoil everybody’s plans. Toronto is another puzzle. Kawhi Leonard is back where he won his 2019 championship, but can the oft-injured superstar finally abandon load management? And what powers does The Klaw have left without those controversial endorsement deals that helped land the Clippers in salary-cap trouble? Perhaps Toronto will finally get the Kawhi, who actually shows up for work. I digress. Out West, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Houston are my favorites. Victor Wembanyama is no longer merely basketball’s future. His combination of height, mobility and defensive instincts is already terrifying. The Spurs look ready to go one better than last season. Oklahoma City isn’t surrendering its place among the elite. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains among basketball’s most complete offensive players, and the Thunder have youth, depth and defensive tenacity. Houston intrigues me even more. Kevin Durant remains a walking bucket, while Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson provide the young legs and versatility to make the Rockets dangerous. Don’t also underestimate the return of Fred VanVleet, widely ranked among the top undrafted players in NBA history. And don’t sleep on Denver. Nikola Jokic possesses such ethereal basketball talent that watching him sometimes feels like witnessing a magician performing tricks nobody else understands. The Joker doesn’t merely play basketball. He conducts an orchestra. Notice I haven’t mentioned the Lakers? That’s intentional. With LeBron gone, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are Hollywood’s Batman and Robin. Unfortunately, roster turnover, lingering injury concerns and questions about their chemistry make Los Angeles a work in progress rather than a legitimate contender. And the Clippers? Me thinks they’ll again be the doormats of Los Angeles basketball. At least they’re consistent. As for Stephen Curry, never underestimate someone who can turn a game upside down with three consecutive shots from another ZIP code. But this season belongs to a changing of the guard. My early Finals prediction? Miami against San Antonio — Part 3: The rubber match. The Heat won in 2013, the Spurs exacted revenge in 2014. Twelve years later, the franchises could finally settle the score, with our kababayan Spoelstra again pulling the strings from Miami’s bench. Me thinks it’s about time.
