Placed against the backdrop of the stunning Anza-Borrego desert in southern California, Ricardo Breceda's "Sky Art" is the perfect blend of stunning craftsmanship and placement in the open desert landscape. Over 120 metallic sculptures are scattered over three non-contiguous square miles of Borrego Valley. From science to history and nature, the sculptures have evolved into whim and fantasy - something for everyone on this large desert palette. Startling and stunning as these fantastic sculptures are, they beg a story of how they came to be. This is that story.
Sky Art-bold, impressive, even outrageous-that is the art of Ricardo Breceda, known as the Picasso of Steel. In ten short years this Hispanic sculptor has elevated a primitive welding art form of Mexico to provocative sculptures of imposing outdoor beauty. Southern California's Borrego Valley is home to over one hundred of his larger than life sculptures.
