Colibri Painting and Wall Finishes

After ignoring our fireplace during a 2010 remodel, we finally decided to tackle the project even though we were still undecided on the final facade. The contractor we chose did only the masonry work. We were left with a new firebox and a black concrete hearth all of which still needed to be finished off. That’s when we discovered MEODED Paint & Plaster in Hollywood. We loved the numerous decorative finishes we saw in their showroom now we just needed someone with the expertise to apply their product. MEODED highly recommended Dionisio Ceballos of Colibri Painting and Wall Finishes. With our first meeting we knew he was our guy. It was obvious he was more than a talented craftsman he's also an artist. He arrived with various samples of finishes he could apply but he also made it clear it was all about us, what we envisioned. Dionisio is an excellent listener and was very adept at interpreting our half baked ideas. We mostly knew what we didn’t want but with his help and patience, we discovered together the look we were after. He also provided a wonderful solution to finish off the hearth. He applied an acid finish that brought out texture and color from what had been a solid black mass. Dionisio Ceballos stands by his work and strives for his clients to be 100% satisfied. We had insisted on a very subtle look but two weeks after he finished I realized we should have had him apply a more textured finish. True to his word he came back to make the changes we asked for. As if his integrity and talent were not enough, he’s also the most pleasant, kind and thoughtful contractor with whom we’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. As the result of our experience together we’re without a doubt his biggest fans and supporters, 100% satisfied clients. His talents lie so far beyond just decorative plaster; his language is color and texture which he manipulates decisively into so many forms you'll be amazed by the gorgeous results he's capable of achieving. We can’t say enough about this young man: his timeliness, his art and craft, his dedication and most of all his other worldly talent. If you’re a designer, contractor or homeowner, I'm sure you'll be thrilled by what Dionisio Ceballos and his Colibri Painting and Wall Finishes can bring to your project.

Colibri Painting and Wall Finishes came highly recommended to me by Meoded Paints and Decoration. When my husband and I first started exploring ideas for our master bedroom, we met with numerous specialty painters and artists who pitched various ideas. Nothing really felt right. When Colibri first came into the space, the working relationship was really easy. He had many good ideas, but really listened to what worked and didn't work for us. We wanted someone with a creative vision who could also incorporate a mood and texture to the room that both my husband and I would like. It was a smooth process. We did multiple color adjustments and boards until we got it just right. Once we had selected the look, the work itself started right away, and was done within a week. We enjoyed working with Colibri and would recommend them to anyone looking to collaborate with a talented artist.

Dio brought life in our entryway and house! We had met with him on a vision we had and he delivered way beyond what we envisioned. Our entryway is spectacular! Dio has painted 3 of our bathrooms and entryway. We are happy and impressed with his work. Dio is magic in his art and we would definitely recommend him and will use him in the future!

I hired Dionisio of Colibri Painting to cover a wall in my apartment with Venetian plaster. I met him in the paint shop where I sourced the paint—he was recommended by one of the staff members. We exchanged information and after sending him measurements (the wall is 7x8'), he promptly sent me a quote. He came a week later and did an amazing job. I am very happy with the outcome. He worked quickly but very skillfully—he's a talented painter and an artist—and included me in the process too: if I liked the way he was progressing, if he should change anything, tweak the paint and customize the look I was going for. He was finished in about 6 hours including a quick break.

Dionisio skillfully completed a special project for me. He studied my Parisian wood block print archival wallpaper, and fluidly connected areas which had not come together matching when the paper was hung. He added entire floral, leaf and water sections matching colors and mural style, and even added a small commissioned piece to personalize it further. The entire room changed and is now perfect!. It was a pleasure to work with him.

From beginning to end Dio was amazing. He sets expectations and time frames properly and sticks to them. My wife is an art teacher and I knew this would present some challenges for Dio he handled it with grace and professionalism and made my wife feel comfortable. He presents his ideas and then not only asks for your involvement but works with your ideas. This is rare. When he suggested we involve the kids in one of the paintings we were hesitant. He simply said, When you walk into this house you feel their energy." "They need to be a part of it." We are ever so glad we agreed. The kids felt part of the project and they will always have that memory of painting with Dio. We are extremely happy with the results. We can not recommend Dio enough. If we could give more stars we would.

Dio was great to work with. He did a fantastic Venetian plaster job in my house, and it turned out beautifully . The blending of the colors and quality was impeccable, and I highly recommend him!

Dionisio has done 6 large scale projects for us since 2004 and he has always exceeded our expectations in every way. His artistic talent, his understanding of the project's objective, his ability to work well under pressure and meeting deadlines and his integrity as a person are all up there with the best of his peers.

A couple of months ago my company was working on rebuilding a home after a flood. Dionisio was hired by our company to touch up a lovely mural in the little girls bedroom. He also did some faux texture painting in the dining room. He is extremely passionate about his art and it shows in his work. He matched the mural well but also added a few touches of his own, which made it come alive. He is very professional and polite, and he was able to complete all of the work within a couple of days, which pleased the homeowners during this stressful rebuilding situation. I would highly recommend Dionisio to anyone that values high quality, integrity and dependability.
