From fierce hunters like lions and jaguars to impressive land-grazers like bulls and horses, to sea creatures and insects like the spiny lobster and the stag beetle, the work of Hungarian artist Agnes Nag exemplifies the soulmate-like bonds between humans and animals. Her sculptures provide a realistic representation of wildlife; while their exteriors are hard, each piece expresses a powerful display of movement and exudes feelings of strength, play and freedom. “I didn’t choose animals, they were the ones who found me and refused to let go,” she says. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the South Florida SPCA, a Miami-Dade nonprofit that rescues and rehabilitates horses and livestock. “Miami is an exciting place to share my love for animals and nature with like-minded art enthusiasts and collectors,” she says. Her sculptures give voice to the soul of her wild subjects. Open thru Dec.4; private showings Dec. 3-Feb. 28, 2022; SogolDecor.com; JBContemporary.com.

In the quiet elegance of the De La Cruz Family Private Collection in Key Biscayne, the lines between muse and masterpiece dissolve. Draped in silky textures that echo the rich tones of the walls, the model moves — nostalgic, timeless and eternal. Each frame captures her presence among the storied canvases, as if she were painted into a world where art is not just displayed — it is embodied.
