Artistic Brushworks - Murals, Faux Finishing, Stenciling and Custom Artwork for Interior Designs and Home Decorating
Trompe L'oeil stone niche

Trompe L'oeil is the style of painting which creates the illusion of being three dimensional.  It comes from the French word Trompe L'oeil which translates "to deceive the eye".   Murals & artwork containing Trompe L'oeil are very realistic, although realism is not always necessary to achieve the effect.

We use faux finishing and other techniques to create the desired Trompe L'oeil effect that can become a dramatic focal point in a room or a pleasant surprise above a bed, door or window.  We work in many different styles -- from old-world to contemporary imagery. Take a look at the Murals section.
