Spatial llusion

'Roman Bath'

This spatial illusion was created in a master ensuite bathroom, to afford an escape from the hectic, fast-paced modern world to the simplicity of a bygone age.

When reclined in the bathtub, one is surrounded by trompe l'oeil stone blocks, crumbled away to reveal the blue, Mediterranean skies above...

Murals
 
A mural is more than a 'painting'. It is an artform that becomes integral to it's surroundings.

These can be executed directly onto the substrate, or, the preferred method is to paint onto canvas, which is later installed somewhat like wallpaper. The beauty of this approach, is the ability to remove the artwork, roll it up, and take with you.

Trompe L'oiel
 
Trompe l'oeil has been used for centuries to add whimsy, decorative detail and transport the imagination to areas never before travelled.

What to do with that dark hallway with no windows? How about a trompe l'oeil view of a window, looking out onto the ocean; or the illusion of a french door, opening onto a gorgeous garden in bloom...?
