Ever since I can remember I was always mesmerized by making art, or watching it being made. Time stood still – that was tranquil and eternal. Art was the only thing that made sense after all… And what is more eternal than a fresco!?

I am a contemporary fresco painter. My work embodies large scale true (buon) fresco installations and fresco objects. My exhibition history includes museums and galleries internationally. My projects are featured on the covers of Architectural Digest USA, Italy, Germany and others. Also I have designed and produced décor for several Academy Awards (R) Governor’s Balls and other events.

I am the author of the Buon Fresco Painting Foundations Tutorials and the founder of the Fresco School (FrescoSchool.org).

Over the years I have painted, curated or advised on over 24,000 sq. feet  and counting of the large scale frescoes. The largest fresco that I have completed, the Malibu Fresco, is over 3,600 sq. feet.

Currently I am working on the large scale fresco and sgraffito iconography project, fresco installations and portable frescoes. I am teaching and lecturing on fresco painting at the Fresco School, The Getty Institute and other venues (my Fresco Program in Italy).

You are welcome to view Featured Collection and purchase my small scale fresco originals at the Sales Gallery.
