Murals, Fine Art, and Mosaic in San Diego

My murals decorate buildings throughout Little Italy in San Diego, including the large-scale Eredita Italiana series still visible today on India Street. I work across techniques - murals, mosaic, oil painting, and gold leaf molding - creating pieces that become part of the city itself, not just decoration on a wall.

My work has been shown at international exhibitions in Germany, India, and Poland, and my paintings are held in private collections from New York and San Francisco to Tel Aviv, Toronto, and Moscow. Beyond paintings and murals, I design custom furniture, work on interior and exterior decor, and paint reproductions of antique icons and classic paintings for clients who want to bring that classical feel into their own home.
