Patricia Arnillas Studio, AKA Contraposto Art Studio, was founded in 2008 by Patricia Arnillas, the former co-director of Art Space, Inc. The Studio specializes in faux finishes, glazing, gilding, murals, custom-design, and hand-printed wallpaper. An Italian Renaissance term, Contraposto refers to balance achieved through the forces of tension and grace in a human standing figure. These same dynamic elements: of tradition and innovation, measure and creativity, are the driving forces behind the firm’s vision. Patricia's work blends contemporary design with classical expression. The studio prides itself on technical expertise, manipulation of color, and innovative use of raw materials. Patricia works intimately with clients to ensure that their unique vision and concepts are executed according to the highest standards of excellence. Patricia Arnillas Studio employs teams of talented and highly skilled artists, carefully selected for each project, to ensure efficient production and high quality results.
