They are superb artists, consummate professionals and delightful people. They faux painted newly built cabinets and did a fabulous job. We are so pleased by their work. They were timely, efficient and dedicated to providing the outcome we wanted. We give them our highest recommendation. **★★★★★ — Ruth and Jack Jimmink, Aug. 2019** > This is our third project with Monica and Marco and again they exceeded our expectations. This time we are redecorating our Master Bedroom and the faux painted accent wall is the highlight of the room. It's always delightful working with them and we cannot wait until our next project. **Comment from Bella Arte Studio, Inc:** > Thanks so much Ruth and Jack! > Working with you both is easy, because you both know exactly what you want. > That makes you exceptional! Thanks so much for the kind words. > M&M **★★★★★ — crisburns, Feb. 2019** > Great job and artistic, delightful and courteous > couple who have become friends. The powder room was faux painted and all our exterior wood look doors. **★★★★★ — Kevin Steinwachs, Jan. 2019** > What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Their work exceeded my expectations and my expectations were high. I had a particular vision and they took the time to understand and execute that vision perfectly. Marco and Monica are not only talented and professional but they are kind and personable. From the very beginning Monica and Marco said they would be tidy, continue with my job until completed and would not finish the mural until I was satisfied. They were true to their word. I cannot find enough kind word to express my appreciation. I don't recommend a lot of people, but I give them my highest recommendation. **★★★★★ — Bill McNulty, Oct. 2016** > ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! We were introduced to Monica and Marco through our builder, who has hired Bella Arte Studio for many previous/current new homes, including our own. The builder commissioned them to faux paint ceiling beams 22 ft. up in our cupola, as well as the ceiling fan blades, to match the cabinetry in the kitchen island. Their painting was so lifelike and remarkable that we asked them if they would be able to perform their magic on our 8 ft. double front doors that were in a deep red color that didn't quite match the "cedar stain" we were anticipating. Enough of the boring background...here's what you need to know! > Monica and Marco are two of the nicest, friendliest people you will ever meet. They are easily able to balance being both brilliant artists and consummate professionals. They understand and deliver the project from YOUR perspective...not just creatively, but also on time and on budget. Their pricing is very fair and reasonable. They truly want you, the customer, to be 100% satisfied. We recommend them without reservation to deliver your dream! Phone them right now and get on their schedule...you'll be delighted! **Comment from Bella Arte Studio, Inc:** > Bill and Rosemary McNulty made our experience so comfortable. > > Given the natural inconvenience of having an entryway open to Florida's climate for any period of time, we were fortunate to perform the work under comfortable weather conditions, but we suspect that even in horrid weather, the McNultys' personalities would bring forth sunshine. > > Great clients! **★★★★★ — Cat B, April 2016** > Marco and Monica are a highly talented and professional couple to work with. They were quick to respond to my inquiry, quick to make an appointment for an estimate and quick to schedule the work. I cannot describe how happy and grateful I am to have found them on this website. They took a true red room and transformed it into the beautiful tranquil bedroom that we get to wake up every morning in and enjoy. > Marco and Monica, you guys are the best! > Respectfully, > Frank & Cathy **★★★★★ — joanschwartz, Sept. 2015** > This is an immensely talented couple. Both are extremely knowledgeable in their field and they are able to execute a client's desires to perfection because, in effect, they truly wish to realize the client's vision and moreover, they have the talent to do it!!!. Their work is of the highest quality. They are happy people so they are a pleasure to have around. They communicate very well and each work is truly a collaboration between client and artist. They are true professionals, staying in budget, meeting deadlines and in their attitude and work ethic as well. I have met great and mediocre faux paintesr in my experiences building our houses and I'm very particular about the work since I am an artist in my own right. I trust Marco and Monica to realize whatever vison I have in mind. They are willing to go that extra mile to present various options and talk wishes through with a client. They get it right. One never enters the contract without having a clear idea of the end result. I love working with these two and I recommend them without reservation to those who wish the highest standard of faux art. > Jo in Sarasota **★★★★★ — danivan, May 2014** > We hired Bella Arte to update murals in our home, which they had previously completed for a prior owner. To say that their work is outstanding would be an understatement. They truly are professional artists, yet at the same time they are a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. We would highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — srq1, May 2014** > We hired Marco & Monica to design and paint a mural in our son's nursery. They came up with a jungle landscape, complete with a large tree, over a dozen animals, clouds on the sky and so much more. Words do not do their work justice. Their imaginative efforts and end result far exceeded my wildest expectations. Our son is fascinated by his room and we admire their beautiful artwork every single day. **Comment from Bella Arte Studio, Inc:** > Thank you kindly for your great review! On that note, it's only right to add photos of your son's nursery. **★★★★★ — Trinity Custom Homes, May 2014** > Bella Arte has done some amazing work for us. They are very talented and creative. The custom murals they can create on ceiling or walls can really transform your home or business interior! **★★★★★ — 3065039, May 2014** > They have done a painting for my dining room, two canvas paintings in the living room, a beautiful ceiling painting in my theater room and some work at my husbands business. They are hard workers and aim to please. I'm very confidant in recommending them. They truly love the work they do and it shows in every aspect. They also have great ideas to help if your not exactly sure what your looking for. They are good people!! **★★★★★ — kathye1498, May 2014** > I have hired this company to create three different projects for me. > > The first project was a wall mural in my home which is so realistic people refuse to believe it is a painting and have to walk up to touch it. > > The second project was painting a hand carved carousel horse-which ended up being a one of a kind masterpiece. > > The final project was to faux paint my office. They combined colors from two paintings I wished to hang and created the most beautiful faux walls. Each one of my clients have fallen in love with my office and this is all because of all their hard work and dedication. > > I found them to be extremely talented and very professional. They are very easy to work with and will ask questions about what you wish to create, put their imaginations to work, show you samples for approval and then finish the job in record time. Their ideas and attention to detail brought each of my ideas to life. Each project was so different but the end result was always the same - incredible work. > > I would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to create their own individual space. Anything they create is undeniably beautiful. ## Selected projects - [Shimmering Powder Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shimmering-powder-bath-pj-vj~6775186) - Location: St. Petersburg, Florida - Photos: 5 - Description: Our clients wanted a faux finish that would bring lots of “bling” to their pool / guest bath.
