Steve Kuzma is an American artist of Ukrainian descent born in Philadelphia in 1960. He graduated from Parsons School of Design. Among his teachers we find David Passalaqua and Darshan Singh.
He started as an illustrator in New York City in the 1980s. Steve possessed a particular talent for painting sport scenes since he was very sensitive to athlete’s competition. For him, painting sport subjects was a trigger for a never-ending integration and development of the mind, the body and the spirit together.
