MY BIO
I am delighted to present to you my artistic journey, and it is an honor to share my deep passion for the world of art and the memorable experiences it has afforded me. My love for painting was ignited years ago, in 2000, while pursuing art courses in the beautiful region of Sardinia, Italy. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work on multiple large-scale art projects, creating incredible wall murals and frescoes for restaurants, hotels, and private homes globally.
I am proud to have collaborated with several well-known brands, such as L’Oreal, Starbucks, Kraken Rum, and Friziderm, as well as esteemed personalities such as J.K. Rowling, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie, creating stunning and unique party sets in collaboration with Nellie Shepherd. However, my greatest joy comes from contributing positively to community projects, such as when we worked with Paint your planet, Make it Ealing BID, Love Uxbridge BID, Positive Putney BID, Act for Ealing BID Discover Welling

The Beginning (BIO):

2000
As they say, it's never too late to discover your true passion. For me, it came after years of self-reflection and contemplation. It was a realization that seemed to hit me out of nowhere, but one that I could no longer ignore. I knew that I had to pursue my love for painting - and so I did. It wasn't an easy decision, but with the unwavering support of my loved ones, I decided to take the leap of faith and dive deep into the art world. My journey as an artist started in the beautiful island of Sardinia, Italy in 2000. It was there that I had the privilege of participating in numerous painting and drawing courses, and it was there that my passion for art began to truly blossom. From there, I took my artistic training to the next level by journeying to Rome, where I honed my skills even further. With perseverance and dedication, I continued to refine my craft. I tackled more extensive projects, including expansive wall paintings and frescoes in private residences and restaurants throughout Sardinia. Looking back, it's amazing to see how far I've come. And yet, I still feel like there is so much more to learn and create. It's a journey that I am excited to continue on for as long as I can.
2006 - 2023
In 2006, I made the decision to relocate to London to enhance my skills as a mural artist and street artist. Over the course of two years, I established a considerable customer base, providing bespoke hand-painted murals for a range of establishments such as restaurants, coffee shops, upscale pubs, private residences, nurseries, and hospitals. One of our most noteworthy commercial projects involved collaborating with Starbucks and Paul Sweeney in creating large-scale wall murals for more than 250 shops across the UK, as well as in cities like Paris, Switzerland, and Austria. Recently, we undertook a community art project for Ladbury Housing Association, where our team created a beautiful 100 meter long wall painting to enhance the local community's surroundings. Contributing to larger initiatives like this instilled a sense of purpose and fulfilment in us. Apart from international projects, we have facilitated numerous residential projects to aid in community enhancement, which has promoted togetherness and a sense of belonging among the local residents, latest one in collaboration with EEA and royal Greenwich
WHAT DO WE OFFER
Murals are a well-established form of artwork that involves directly applying paint to walls, ceilings, or even glass surfaces. Its long history spans back to ancient times and has since then remained a favorite art form, even in modern times. Hand-painted murals are widely used to decorate both the interior and exterior of buildings, showcasing remarkable durability that withstands the test of time while maintaining its beauty.
When considering the cost of wall murals, there are a variety of factors that each artist takes into account, such as square footage, complexity, details, travel, and the number of individuals involved. The price will differ from artist to artist, and from job to job. Larger murals in commercial buildings or offices will typically cost more than smaller feature walls in residential areas. The standard charge is approximately £50/100 per square foot, although this cost can rise significantly for hand-painted murals, depending on the artist. Generally speaking, most mural projects will begin around £800 for a design that measures 3 meters by 3 meters.
To optimize cost-effectiveness, we recommend considering a streamlined design that employs a maximum of 2-3 colors. Graphic styles can offer a clear and impactful outcome, even with a simple approach. Furthermore, selecting a design no larger than 2 square meters that can be executed without the use of ladders can help to minimize expenses.
There are a variety of surfaces that are suitable for mural design with painting techniques available for each surface. It is generally advised to avoid painting in very humid areas, as excessive moisture can lead to a shorter lifespan for the mural. Proactively considering the surface and conditions of the space in which a mural will be painted can help ensure its longevity and overall success.

Our water-based paint is specifically designed to be free of toxic materials and unpleasant odors, ensuring that it is safe and healthy for both our customers and the environment.

Typically, the duration of our mural projects ranges from half a day to one day on average, provided that the task does not involve complex designs or extensive travel.

Dear valued customer,
In order to provide you with the best possible service, we kindly request that you provide us with as much information as possible regarding your project. This may include details such as the size of the area, its location, any important deadlines, and a brief description of the design you require. With this information, we will be able to carry out a quick evaluation and provide you with a rough estimate of costs, as well as our professional suggestions and advice.
Once we have a better understanding of the specific details and requirements of your project, we will be able to provide you with a precise quote and, if necessary, a custom sketch. Thank you for choosing our services and we look forward to working with you to bring your vision to life.
As a professional, I find collaboration with my team to be rewarding. However, there are instances where I undertake certain projects alone, particularly those that require a smaller scope.
As a professional company, we operate predominantly in the London region. However, we are able to cater to projects outside of this location if necessary. Additionally, we have successfully undertaken numerous overseas ventures in the past. Thank you for considering our services, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
We kindly require a 20% deposit to initiate the creative process. It is important to note that in case of cancellation caused by the client, the deposit is non-refundable. This amount helps us cover the time and effort spent in producing custom sketches and conducting initial assessments. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we trust you understand the importance of this policy for the smooth and efficient delivery of our services. Thank you for choosing our company for your creative needs and please let us know if there are any questions or concerns we can address.
We are proud to offer a 3-year guarantee on our wall design, although it has been known to last up to 10 years in many cases. With over 20 years of expertise in this field, we have never had to revisit a project for touch-ups. Our team takes great pride in providing quality work that stands the test of time.
