DTLA LIFE MAG #8 | AUGUST 2014 | Page 42

“As an interior designer I am often working with a specific design direction and color pallet. I can give Cinzia a photo or color rendering of my project and the two of us collaborate throughout her artistic process culminating in a beautiful painting that en- hances my design and delights my clients,” Helda said. “The right art is imperative to complete the design in any space.” Many pieces from her collections provide what designers like Helda and DTLA urbanites are looking for and many times these go for half the price of gallery pieces. Condo dwellers and collectors looking to bring tranquility to a space can check out her “Grotto” series, particularly “Grotto Inner Peace” with its rich texture of blues, yellows and creams. These large-scale pieces evoke a calming affect many DTLA peeps like coming home to after a day at work and sitting on a jam-packed highway. The boldness of her “CoffeeBean Revolution” series with a smattering of pure copper leafing against chocolate browns, creams and grays with splashes of charcoal has more of a hip masculine feel. Cinzia says this series has been popular with many of the athletes. And for those with a penchant for groovy-ness the “Timeless Flight” series fits the mold. These colorful pieces are topped with a clear thick shiny resin finish. So next time you’re kicking around downtown during your lunch break, on a cultural weekend or while exploring the Downtown Art-walk, be sure to visit Art by Cinzia and some of the other local galleries. Not only does it support your local artists, you may also find the perfect piece to complete the design of your personal digs or business. www.artbycinzia.com - www.thebroad.org - www.grammymuseum.org - www.lalive.com - www.downtownartwalk.org
