- Tuscany Mural
This beautiful mural was done for a showroom in a furniture store in the basement . There were no windows and the Tuscan Mural brought some light and life to the space.
Basically every room which is dark, has only small windows or is too small can be lightened up with a mural.
The faux finished arch and the balcony create extra space which make you feel steping out.
You don’t need to be an Italy fan for such a mural. It can be done in less than 2 weeks and will cost you $2700. What a deal for a daily view!

- sleeping angel
The sleeping angel is part of a very romantic mural featuring one of greatest European ballerinas.
Inmidst a French old world landscape the angel has no intentions, no interference – it is pure - it is a forgotten part of a world which was full of detail, romance and love.
If I could go back in time I would go back when life was easier and you could find the love for details everywhere. If you see the Ballerina on my website you will understand…

French Design on a Ceiling
This Design is so French as it can get. My client’s home was throughout decorated in French style and when the dining area was remodelled they installed a sort of cathedral ceiling.
Without the faux finished background and the design the four parts of the ceiling were not visible at all.
I choose gold and copper for the ornamental painting and a very subtle faux finish in the brownish tone of the adjacent walls. It looks awesome with the crystal chandelier in the middle.

Do you like the Asian style of interior design? I did this Bamboo Mural for a Diningroom and it made such a big difference. My client had many Asian accents in her home and the Bamboo wall made the diningroom look perfect. Such a mural can be in a hallway or livingroom as well as in a bathroom. In fact it looks like hand painted wall paper and such a look adds some sophisticated touch to the space.

A 17th century mural after the painting of Nicholas Lancret (1690-1743). Let’s become romantic… 
This is a blank wall. Look at it. Do you see anything special? No, it’s just a wall in a room which is the dining room of a private residence in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles.
My own artistic viewpoint: A challenge. Need for creation. Empty space. Liveless space. I searched and found a wonderful painting which was finally chosen by the client.
The draft for the mural can be seen at the end of this blog.
Right side of the wall, next to the door. I decided to paint a french landscape which was typical for the 17th century paintings.
The angel is sleeping – tranquility is the keyword.
The landscape is growing, more trees and bushes. Roses around the angel – it’s timeless. No need to rush. Tranquility.
People are entering the scene. Musicians playing old instruments.
A girl – still in no motion. Flower in her hair. A little smile…
The musicans come alive.
The star, the highlight of the mural is beginning to come into existence. It’s a beautiful lady…
Here she is:
Mademoiselle Marie de Camargo. One of the first famous ballerinas in Europe. She might have been forgotten but when I found her it made me feel happy. She is history. She is wonderful. She is dancing forever…
Left to the ballerina there is a handsome boy who plays the drum and the flute at once.
Landscape again, a lake, soft background. Cloudy sky. It’s a romantic summer’s day. Tranquility.
The whole Mural is done. Duration: 6 weeks.
And here is the draft and the painting of Nicholas Lancret:
