Steven Csorba is known for his paintings of sports legends like Wayne
Gretzky and Muhammad Ali and his commemorative works celebrating historical
events like the Olympic Games, and famous teams like Notre Dame Football. You
can find his paintings in the National Art Museum of Sports, and in other
prominent public and private collections. He is a longtime Edmontonian who
has devoted countless hours of community service and who campaigns to
encourage others to become involved in the lives of Edmonton children.
In 2003, Steven was diagnosed with cancer and went through 14 hours of
surgery, seven weeks of radiation treatments, and a full year of
recuperation. As part of his cure, he created art. It helped him transcend
the experience. Since his recovery, he’s created over 60 new pieces that
express both a powerful energy, as well as the heroic struggle he went
through. They’re like nothing he’s ever done before. There’s an energy —
reflecting a glorious celebration of life — that seems to radiate from
within each painting.
Celebrating Rotary's 100 years of service, Csorba has donated the use of one
of these paintings called ‘Inner Peace’ as a symbol of success in improving
lives, in building understanding and in fostering peace around the globe.
