Portfolio of Venetian Plaster Work by Venetian Application Inc
The portfolio of Venetian Application Inc reflects more than forty eight years of experience in the art of Italian plaster. Every project showcases authentic materials, traditional technique and a level of craftsmanship shaped by decades of work in residential homes, luxury estates, boutique commercial spaces, hospitality interiors and architectural environments throughout Los Angeles and surrounding regions. Artisan Dean Baker applies more than one hundred Italian plaster finishes, each requiring a refined understanding of layering, texture, mineral behaviour and the subtle qualities that bring these surfaces to life.
The portfolio represents a wide range of styles, from polished finishes with luminous depth to textured stone inspired surfaces that echo natural formations. Each project is approached with respect for architectural intention and an understanding of how plaster can complement and enhance the character of the space. Whether the goal is calm refinement, dramatic movement or timeless elegance, every finish is shaped by hand with precision and attention to detail.
Venetian Application Inc serves Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica, Pasadena, West Hollywood, Culver City, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Inglewood and many additional communities throughout Los Angeles.
Portfolio Highlights
How portfolio work demonstrates technique
The portfolio reflects the mastery of technique required for authentic Italian plaster. Each project involves:
• careful evaluation of lighting and architectural form
• selection of the appropriate finish
• custom colour development and sampling
• controlled layering to build depth
• precise compression to refine sheen and movement
• detailed texture shaping when required
Every finish responds differently depending on conditions. The portfolio demonstrates the ability to control these variables and produce cohesive, beautiful surfaces.
The role of custom samples in portfolio projects
Before any project begins, custom samples are created to ensure perfect alignment with the design vision. These samples:
• confirm colour accuracy
• demonstrate movement and texture
• show how the finish responds to lighting
• allow design adjustments before installation
Many portfolio projects began with extensive sampling to achieve exactly the right tone, depth and finish variation.
Stone inspired portfolio finishes
Many portfolio projects feature finishes designed to reinterpret the natural beauty of stone.
These include:
• Travertino with its recognizable linear channels
• Romano with deeper rustic stone patterns
• Pietra with its sculptural stone presence
• Mantovano with refined organic texture
• Etruria with soft earth based character
These finishes appear in residential and commercial settings where natural materials shape the architectural story.
