Trompe L'Oeil mural
The ink bottle is in a 3D mural I did for a hallway. The mural contains a shelf with a vase of colorful tulips, an ink bottle with quilt, a letter and a paper roll containing memories of my client.
Lake Como Mural
Lake Como is a picturesque lake in the North of Italy, very close to the Swiss border, and surrounded by mountains. It is also the home of the famous actor George Cloney. The mural was done for a residence in famous Brentwood of Los Angeles. The house you see in the mural is the home of my clients.

Hand Painted Faux Papyrus Scroll
Hand painted scroll (it is not paper); the scroll is painted, the iron rod too. The trompe l’oeil mural is in a hallway;
the quote was chosen by my client. The entire hallway was first painted in a very light and subtle faux finish, an ideal background for the papyrus scroll.

Country Mural Trompe L’oeil
Trompe L’oeil mural in a hallway; featuring a shelf with a straw hat that hangs at the shelf. What does Trompe L’oeil mean?
It is French and means “Tricking the eye”. Such a mural has dimension and looks real. It can be a book shelf, a shelf with kitchen or garden items; a door or window, a street scene or anything else. Instances from Greek and Roman times are known, for instance in Pompeii. A typical trompe-l’Å“il mural might depict a window, door, or hallway, intended to suggest a larger room. If you like a real Trompe L’Oeil mural for your home send an email.

What do you do with niches?
You can just paint them. You can faux finish them or use Venetian Plaster.

Or have them hand painted with some ornamental/decorative painting on a faux finished background.

Lake Como Mural Brentwood
This mural is at the end of a long and small hallway, and adds depth and dimension to the hallway space. A Trompe L’Oeil mural is the best for small spaces. It creates additional space to small rooms or hallways.
Birch Tree Mural Pasadena
Birch tree mural for a hallway in Altadena
The group of birch trees was a good choice for the hallway with high ceilings. I did the mural for a charming home in Altadena.
My client also wanted to have some of the local parrots in the mural. These parrots are flying around in the area and take often a rest on their trees in the garden and neighborhood. The green and red colored parrots were kept in a pet store many, many years ago and could escape because of a fire. Since then they continued to live a happy life  in the “local wildernes” of Pasadena and Altadena.
I added 3 parrots to the mural, one is flying on the opposite wall.
