Painted skies and canvases, customized walls: handmade and tailor-made

Franck Follaco

"I will never tire of watching my husband paint, even after all these years, and I continue to be amazed every evening by the strength he finds to resume a drawing or painting after a long day on a building site. When I met him in Paris, he was exhibiting his paintings at the Salon Habiter 2003 at the Tuileries. Canvases with details of ornaments, landscapes, clouds and cherubs. It was love at first sight, both professionally and personally. I appreciated the artist's virtuosity of line and mastery of colour, his inventiveness, audacity and knowledge. He already had a wealth of experience, but twenty years on, I can say that he has created countless prestigious works all over the world. He is as enthusiastic about a small project for a private individual as he is about a large team effort, and he always comes up with the idea, combined with the technique and implementation: fresco, oil painting, gold leaf, materials...
Painted ceilings, panoramas, skies, birds, flowers... I have seen him paint and draw everything. Dozens of models can be admired in one of our workshops in Paris or Saint-Cloud. Here you will find some of his work and sections on materials and lime tiles, which I am responsible for.
Working with Frank Follaco means connecting with an artist in his own right, who will not settle for merely doing a good job. He strives for excellence. His art is the essence of a lifetime's work."

Mara Montessoro

"We met at a decoration fair in the Tuileries Gardens. That was in 2003, and we've been together ever since. Mara is, above all, energy and vitality. She radiates. Nothing has stopped her since she discovered lime.
It's a living material, just like her. I invented new uses for it, like the tiles she colours for bathroom and kitchen walls. No one else had thought of that. She handles colours with real
skill. Mara also has a special gift for listening; she understands what people want. This is a valuable quality that is sometimes lacking in the profession. How many times have I seen customers with happy expressions on their faces, thanking her for ‘understanding their request so well’. Mara is very generous in her work as well as in life. She always has a thousand ideas in her head... And the high standards that go with them."
