Our desire to paint frescoes for Interiors, was inspired by a vast heritage. First-rate drawings, cartoons, engravings and gouaches, all pertaining to the Applied Arts, were slumbering in libraries and begging for a revival. So for over 15 years, we browsed and searched and hawked wonderful documents, mainly in Paris. In parallel, we applied ourselves to merging these finds into the grammar and rendition of a recognisable Style in decorative painting.

Of course, we did not seek to appeal to minimalists. But it was propitious that the rapid change of the Environment, the feeling of alienation it brought, was inducing many individuals to reassert lifestyles set for themselves, inspired by personal tastes and values, of which the first and foremost manifestation was the Home. This was the only real shelter from the invasive outside world. A place for imagination and pleasure. Where eclectic tastes could be blended into great style. Such people needed architecture, ornament, decor.

Over the years we have accomplished many fresco projects mainly for residential contexts but also for public spaces. Here are a few examples of what can be done to give distinction to a dining-room or entry hall or any space. Many of the themes shown here and others, are now available in a revolutionary new medium : Iksel Print, which is easily mistaken for the hand-painted version of our work , even by professionals. A Cd-rom catalogue of Iksel Print is available upon Order. A specially printed paper catalogue containing large samples and layouts is available to the Trade.
