"...Ilia and his highly skilled team demonstrated a high degree of discipline and creativity during the two-month project. He transformed a thirty-foot wall into a living display of beauty that will outlast most of the art and architecture of the Southwest. He is a creative genius and works with a wonderful team..." Amy Bowers, Emmy Award Winning Documentary Producer (Best Public Affears) ABTV

"...Ilias understanding of the components and team effort is true to the past masters of the art. He truly is a visionary. It's been a year since the fresco was completed. It has changed it's outlook every day of the past year. Ilias talent is beyond merely fabulous. The technique in itself is an amazing art form. Ilias interpretation with and in the materials is exquisite. The beauty continues to evolve and intensify, as the fresco becomes its intended self. Seeing past the immediate results and understanding the final outcome is truly the realm of the fresco master..." Steve Upah, Patron

"...Ilia stands amidst the very few talents who are actually breathing life back into the medium - Ben Long and Charles Kapsner among them - in the United States, and who are consistently refining the art of fresco, painting beautiful pictures for generations to enjoy. Ilia goes a step further than his colleagues in one aspect though: he had made generous strides in uniting growing Internet communities interested in fresco. His web site(TrueFresco.com) is nothing short of amazing in its depth and breadth, and it's become a major forum - perhaps THE forum - on the subject..." Mark W. Stone, Emmy Award Winning Producer WVIZ/PBS

FROM FRESCO GAZETTE

Perfect fit | Philadelphia Inquirer

A mighty volcanic eruption smothered the Mediterranean island of Thera in the 17th century B.C., preserving a storied trove of cultural and artistic relics from the late Bronze Age. Computer experts at Princeton are helping archaeologists reassemble fragments of an ancient Greek fresco. When it was excavated in modern times, however, much of the trove was like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Greek archaeologists have labored for decades to reconstruct striking frescoes from pieces that still boast their original creamy whites and deep reds.

June 08 - from the world fresco news

europaconcorsi - 6/30/08 Painting for Eternity. The Tombs of Paestum With its three large Doric temples, Paestum became a well-known site early on thanks to engravings by Piranesi (1777/78) and Goethe's impressive descriptions in his Italienische Reise (1787). However, many people are unaware that Paestum contains one of the greatest treasure troves of ancient fresco paintings: During excavations in the 1960s, around 200 richly painted tombs from the Lucanian period (4th century B.C.) were discovered. The Martin-Gropius-Bau dedicates an exhibition to these rare examples of ancient tomb art. Around 45 painted tomb slabs of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Paestum will be shown at the exhibition in Berlin, including seven complete tombs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Idaho Statesman - 06/29/08 How are things going at the Capitol? Thousands of square feet of wall space in the Capitol are covered with distemper. More familiar as canine affliction, distemper is also a decorative technique dating back to ancient Egypt. Some call it "the poor man's fresco." Rich men had the real thing, like da Vinci's "Last Supper," where the artist mixed pigment with water, or egg on plaster ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hockney's Pool Restoration at Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel

David Hockney made a mural at the bottom of the pool of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel that graced the guests as they were enjoying the wonderful outdoor climate, swimming, and gazing out at the water. There was always a possibility to catch a glimpse of a Hollywood "A- lister" enjoying the comfortable environment along with the guests. Over time, the paint has been deteriorated by the chemicals of the water and the constant contact of the guests rubbing up against the floor and walls. The vibrant blue marks went from being the focal point of the view to being minor stains at the bottom of the pool. The artists of iLia Anossov Design (iLAdesigns.com) have become the saviors of many historical murals all around Los Angeles.
