Stucco as Art is a mural art and interior design company created in 1989 and based in Toronto, Canada.

Catalino, the founder of Sgraffito Design and Principal Artist, has a Master in Fine Arts and over 30 years of experience as a full-time professional artist. He has dedicated his entire career to mortar-based mural art and to adapting a Renaissance technique for the contemporary customer (this original Renaissance mural art technique, based on colored mortars, is called Sgraffito - hence the name of our company.) Since 1978, Catalino has created over 20,000sqf (1850sqm) of mural art using real European stucco, for commercial as well as residential customers in Europe and Canada. You can view a selection of his recent work in the Gallery sections (Stucco / mortar murals and art panels and Decorative stucco / mortar finishes). Catalino Vasilescu also consults on and executes conservation / restoration / repair of lime mortar based decorative finishes and mural art.

Our customers include architects, interior designers, facility managers, home owners and businesses.

We see ourselves as your partners in obtaining the desired solution. If you have a clear idea of what you need, we can make it come to life using real mortar (lime mortar). Alternatively, if you are not sure of what you need, we can create the solution for you. Since one of our principles is "no surprises", for larger jobs, we create samples of color and texture, and we may put the design on computer, to help you visualize it and decide if that is really what you want.

Prices are by sq. f. (or sq. m.) for decorative finishes, and by piece (or set) for mural art and decorative panels.

Distance is not an issue: we can ship decorative panels, and we may travel for on-site jobs.
