A Palm Beach County artist is getting special recognition for his creations. He’s one of 40 artists selected to have his artwork featured at Amerant Bank Arena.
Walking through Amerant Bank Arena, it’s nothing but Panther Pride on full display.
Now the team and Amazon are teaming up to display the creations of local artists.
“This is right up my alley,” West Palm Beach sports artist Kyle Lucks said.
Lucks has captured nearly every major sporting event using his paintbrush, including tennis star Coco Gauff and soccer’s Lionel Messi.
His latest creation, which honors the Florida Panthers’ Stanley Cup victories, took him two weeks to paint. It’s titled “Florida Panthers: Reflections of Victory”.
“In the sand are Panther tracks. It’s signifying that this Panther is protecting the Cup, sitting on the beach,” Lucks said, describing the artwork.
Lucks is being modest, underselling his artwork.
The painting shows the Stanley Cup on a beach with Panther footprints. However, the beauty is in the details on the cup, which includes Aleksander Barkov holding the trophy above his head in victory, head coach Paul Maurice, Matthew Tkachuk with his mouthpiece hanging out of his mouth, Sam Bennett and goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky.

The piece was selected as one of 40 artists to have their work on display and for sale at the suite level at Amerant Bank Arena for the rest of the season.
“It’s hard to describe seeing my work outside of my studio or a collector’s home. To be in the arena and be around all this memorabilia and the branding and this environment and knowing that tens of thousands of people come a night (to the arena),” said Lucks.
