Decorative Paintings

Interior Decoration is a interior design more specifically to the trades concerned with the ornamental aspect of interiors ( motif, wall designs, upholstery, and so forth).

The decoration by paintings are unique and special, unified details of motifs, color harmony are applied hand painted such as faux finishes, wall and column marbling, trompe l'oeil murals, accents designs are applied in furniture.

The design process is concise, usually begins with the execution of sketches showing proposed placements of the motif designs, layouts and rough perspective views. Once all the design decisions has been made and approved, the artist applied working drawings and paintings to delineate exact construction and placements of all elements.


Wall & Column Marbling


Marbling is an application technique for replications of various marble types, imitating the rhythm and color design of the natural effect of the stone. Elegant for walls and focus points like columns and wall panels. Marbling can also be applied to table tops, moldings, boxes or whatever enters your imagination. Any surface can be made to look like old world marble, granite, slate, or any other stone surface.

The technique is applying multiple layers of colored glazes to accomplish a realistic looking marble. Glazing adds a beautiful patina to any room, whether applied in 1 layer color, or several colors and layers together,the applications and color choices are endless. The application of a single glaze color adds that extra depth and feel to your walls that is worlds away from a simple flat wall color. Any technique and color combination can be applied to your home.

The Art of Rendering Marble with paint and glaze is a time honered craft dating back before the Renaissance period. The ability to recreate the look of various polished marbles today is indispensible to Home Owners and Decorators in search of it's regal and sophisticated look. Besides the fact that many marbles are no longer

available, the weight of actual marble as well as it's cost sometimes makes it prohibitive as a viable option in buildings. Faux Marble Finishes can, when applied by an experienced artist, recreate the look of Alabaster, Cipolino, Travertine, Yellow Sienna, Limestone or any number of authentic marbles. Aesthetically it can be applied to Marble Columns, Marble Panels, Arches, Mantels, Fireplace Surrounds. In short..anywhere your imagination allows.

The application of Marble Finishes to surfaces uses a variety of Faux Painting Techniques to authentically replicate and simulate the translucent nature of actual Marble or, as is often the case, create a look of Faux Marble that is more loose and artistic that suggests the appearance of Marble, and at times may be more applicable to larger areas. Marble Finishes work out great for sophisticated focal points like Marble Columns and Marble Panels as well as table tops and moldings.

My application start by painting the images in oils ( with a Japan dryer linseed oil, dries quickly), and the finishing stage is the application of a series of colored glazes, create a textures like antique finished, marbling, craquelures, rusting and different kind of effects. Dry the furniture in a room with a hot temperature and finally apply several varnished applications your desired effect in gloss, semi-gloss or matt.
