Painting the classics in a mural on the ceiling


The mural art is not an easy matter. Murals on vaults or ceilings are even more difficult, but make a copy of classic paint in a vault  to 25 feet above the ground on a scaffolding ... is quite difficult and tiring.

When I started this work in particular, in Chino Hills, CA, did not know how long I would need.I was over me a  dome 40 feet in diameter, a central vault of 14 feet, a corridor surrounding and more than 1,200 feet of molding that the client wanted in fux marble. Uf!!!!.

My client wanted nothing more and nothing else than  a fragment of a fresco by Michelangelo on the vault. A church look in the dome around, faux marble in the moldings and finally old gold mixed with bronze in te railings... The worst... only one month to make it.
This is, step by step how did it.

The Real Artisan Stencil

For me, a real stencil start when you design it step by step and custom for a place. There are many stencils that you can buy in shops; and looks well,  but they are not custom.
I only use stencils designed for me in all my ornamentations.

That means more work, but I think is more professional and better for my clients. They know anybody have the same designs.

And this exclusivity also is more spensive.

Here are some samples of my custom stencils:


I usually draw with pencil my ideas.



When the idea is clear for me, I scan the draw and make a Photoshop retracing over in my computer.
