« What a joy to paint other decors day by day, to research, find and use ancestral techniques, often lost over time. »

Christian Rattaz is a decorative painter. In 2000, he went to Ticino and trained in decorative painting techniques, such as lime plaster, stucco and the manufacture of staffs. He then obtained a decorative painter’s diploma, as well as a prize, from the Higher Institute of Decorative Painting in Paris. Since then, he has created and restored all kinds of decorations using pigments or gold leaf.
