| Ari Wall Art LLC is a decorative painting company, specializing in faux marbling, the art of trompe l'oeil, and wall mural painting. Faux marbling is used to make walls, columns, fireplaces, etc. appear as real marble when in reality they could be made of plaster, sheet-rock or any other common material. Faux-stone fresco painting was widely used in the ancient city of Pompeii. The craft was revived in Europe during the Renaissance with two schools of faux marbling developing. The Italian school was loose and expressive, while the French school was formal and realistic. It took most apprentices ten years or more to fully master the art. The most recent revival of faux-marbling started in the 1980s. Trompe l'oeil is a style of painting in which architectural details are rendered in extremely fine detail in order to create the illusion of tactile (tangible) and spatial qualities. This form of painting was first used by the Romans thousands of years ago in frescoes and murals. |
