Few words are needed to define and reveal the power and beauty of Lorenzo
Ghiglieri's art. Expressed in his own evocative style, every unique creation is
original, recognizing the truth that Ghiglieri's profound diversity and skill will
stand the test of time in equaling and occasionally surpassing the great masters of
history. Born to an Italian sculptor father and French artist mother, Ghiglieri grew
up in a rich ethnic culture on the fringe of a Los Angeles ghetto. After receiving
extensive formal training, Lorenzo took it upon himself to study the Old Masters,
especially deriving influence from Rembrandt, Velasquez and Corot. At the age of 17
he was honored with a prestigious art scholarship, and by the age of 20, Ghiglieri
was working on national accounts.At 22, while serving in the U.S. Navy, he received
his first commission from none other than the United States Government to paint what
became a gift to Great Britain at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. His search for
meaning in his work lead him from formal training into tackling raw life
experiences; living the life of a frontiersman. Ghiglieri trekked across mountains
and deserts, researching and documenting for his art. He lived the simple life,
rugged life with the Eskimos on the final frontier of Alaska. Out of the richness of
these experiences he emerged, deeply engrained with the will to preserve, protect
and prolong America's western heritage.

It is etched in every stroke of his paintings, molded in every one of his bronze
sculptures. In 1994, Ghiglieri sculpted the "Official American Bald Eagle" in
bronze, silver and gold; now on display at the White House and part of their
permanent collection. More recently, he was commissioned to complete the Timeline of
Liberty, a historical bronze piece documenting the forefathers of liberty from
ancient Greece to modern times. Every work adheres to his philosophy: It must be
purposeful and meaningful; it must be positive and uplifting. As a result, his work
is immensely valuable not only for what it is, but for what it stands for. It will
endure, serving as a record of the past, a lesson for the present and a hope for the
future. Spanish Trail Golf and Country Club is an exclusive haven of timeless
elegance, nestled in a 640-acre enclave of spectacular homes, lush landscaping, and
welcoming camaraderie.
