Painting can represent all visible objects, with three colours, and all colours what so ever in between shall
be needed, can be obtained.

The effect of colour on our lives cannot be underestimated. The balance and harmony of a painting has a
huge influence on us. Our relationship with colour and its contributing difference requires no introduction.
We have always searched for a sublime balance between ourselves and the space we enter.
A good colour will have many layers of hue, subtle undertones that appear and dissolve in the light.
Additional textures move these hues around in even more elaborate ways. Modern paints blended with
traditional materials and traditional techniques used in contemporary spaces, creating a connection between
the present and the past.

In restorative work, sampling and analysis are used to re-create accurate representations of historic colour
schemes. On public building restoration work, paint composition is analysed to capture the underlying evidence.
As Artist's Colourmen, colour mixing is then used to return to the original concept. This ability to fully control
colour mixing and matching is fundamental to all our design work. The mechanics to obtaining any desired effect.

We have built up a sample library of beautifully hand crafted decorative applications based on naturally
occurring textures using a variety of materials selected for their stability and permanence as well as for their
beauty. Almost all of our work uses a variety of natural, traditional or historical materials, such as canvas, plaster,
paint, glues, metals, waxes, gesso, paper, woods, varnishes, resins and other mediums. We use mould making
and casting to produce some of the finishing. The finishes have also been developed to come in many matching
colourways designed to be part of the architectural structure and to blend with the space, fabrics and
furnishings. We are always happy to help and advise with every aspect of the work during its progress and
the design development. From the first sketches and samples to the fully completed design concept.

We believe contemporary aesthetics are one of the most vital sources for fresh work and ideas.

“..an Italian Restaurant painted with Renaissance frescos might be predictable, even kitsch, but an Indian
Restaurant, it does indeed merit the invention of a new noun..” The World of Interiors Magazine on The Star
of India Restaurant
, South Kensington, London.

Over twenty years, our clients have been many. Each has come with a different design idea. While some like
to be very involved in the many aspects of the project, others are happy to allow the work to evolve around them,
working together with our clients in a considered, trusted, knowledgeable and sympathetic way with sensitivity
and discretion. We choose our materials with great care. We like our work to last a long time and we source and
purchase from many parts of the world. We believe decorative design should be of the highest quality and will only
use techniques proven to be reliable consistent and sound.
