The Artist, Philip Kopiczko

" VENETIAN ARCHITECTURE "    -  The style of medieval architecture elaborated in Venice, Italy. Combining the elements from the "Byzantine" Italians (400 - 800 A.D.) and transplanting European styles into a new style of high decorative quality and color.                                                                                                               " Faux "    -  a  French word for fake.  Faux  finishes are often painted using spatterdash, sponging, and feather-streaking techniques on painted surfaces to resemble as closely as possible a wide variety of textures and surfaces like marble or stone.
