Masters at their craft! Dio and his team did a lot of the finish work for our restaurant. The designers had an array of difficult tasks for them to accomplish, and they did an amazing job. Not only were they incredibly skilled, they were kind and considerate. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them. This is literally my second Yelp review because I usually don't write reviews, but Dio and his team are worth the praise! read more

Dio did a fantastic job doing tadelakt plaster in a bathroom remodel at my home in City Terrace. He took his time reviewing the process with me with, helping me pick out a color, and then was willing to work with me when I was on the fence about whether or not I liked it (despite it being an exact match of the sample he had shown me). Ultimately I decided to leave it as is and I'm very happy with the end result. His work was meticulous and he was also a pleasure to work with. His prices were also fair and reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

If you're looking for a true professional and a master of his craft Dio is the man you want for your job. Dio performed an absolutely beautiful job at Ryu Ramen in Fountain Valley. His team was under a very tight schedule and they were able to not only finish the project in time but before the requested finish date. Dio was extremely detailed and helpful in working with the owners to give them the exact finish they were looking for. I trust Dio on any job we will perform in the future. read more

Studios Colibri - Painters Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dionisio (Dio) is a master artist and Renaissance man. Let us just say we LOVE THIS MAN! I had ongoing visions and dreams daily of what I wanted. Subconsciously I knew what I wanted but needed the right person to execute it. It took me a bout 6 months on a regular web search to finally place all the dots together . I kept running across images that I saw on Pintrest that I loved that did not have the artist name on them, and I meet Dio and he lives in my neighborhood. How amazing was that! It took me a minute to wrap my brain around what it was I truly wanted as there were so many options. We collaborated on several design ideas for my home design project. He understood my creative interpretations and provided all of the missing elements. I too am an artist in my own right, Dio embraced that and checked with me on every stage of the process to make sure we were in the same groove. My main objective was to give him the bullet points and turn him loose. He is excellent for those that know exactly what they want and for those that are clueless. He will not move forward until you are on one accord. My husband and I are experimenting with a new technique that I am creating by not adding photographs or art on the walls. Instead, we are testing the psychological effects by adding textures and wall finishes only, that bring together a common flow throughout the home. We have found that it calms and allows the brain to be stimulated in a more unpretentious exchange with human matter. Dio is patient, clear minded and focused when he works. I loved Photographing Dio while painting. His passion and love for art is alive within. I loved his attire, LA needs more of this. All of the world must experience him. The love of music is definitely an element that he brings to the flow. I loved to watch my husband and Dio have their guitar and song exchanges. Dio is excellent in both artistic interior and exterior painting. He created a beautiful lavender Venetian plaster on our interior entrance and a amazing soft blend of purple, earth tones on the Venetian plaster for the exterior to match a wonderful fused glass piece in our bay window. It was just the right touch, not noisy In the pool area I had the back wall smooth stuccoed beforehand which created a smooth canvas for him to create a strong yet mindful geographic and colorful design. This was a bold statement. I went from soft and gentle in the entrance to bold in the back. Dio is the consummate professional, he is licensed with the City of Los Angeles, provides a proper contract and honors it. What more can you ask for. He shows up on time that is amazing check him out on his website! read more

I can't say enough about working with Dionisio. He is such a talented artist and craftsman.We had our fireplace rebuilt a few years ago but were undecided how we wanted it finished. We brought Dionisio in to create a fireplace facade that resembled stone. He was able to give us everything we had imagined. He works tirelessly to give you what you want. Do to work on our house we experienced some cracking. We reached out to Dionisio to see if it was possible to repair and he immediately responded. He sent his Assistant Jenn our to do the repair and touch up, she was equally a delight to work with. Everything was taken care of, excellent work and left our place spotless. I have no doubt that his Co is capable of delivering quality design and craftsmanship. It is such a pleasure to work with someone who is a perfectionist which both he and Jenn are. Thank you Both! read more

The experience with Dio was fantastic. It was a true collaboration. It was a complete journey from a specific idea we started with to the end result which was quite different though still honored the original concept. Dio guided us through a process that was truly organic to the space and truly a piece of art. We are so thrilled with the result and just having Dio in our house and his energy will be missed. read more

Absolutely amazing. Professional, personal, and perfect painter!! Don't think of Dionisio as a painter, think of him as an artist. He completely transformed my apartment. I randomly stumbled upon him while searching "painters". What I got was an artist, who is one of the best. I have been going crazy trying to think of a way to make my apartment look less brown. Searching for expensive rugs and cheap art work (think Home Goods.) to me, artwork should be a special thing. Unfortunately, I don't have any art from my travels and I can't afford large photos or original art. You will be so moved by the things this dude can do. He is reasonable with his fees. Just remember you are hiring someone to paint a custom painting, not roll paint on a wall. If I add up all the money I would have spent buying janky stuff from Pier One Imports, world Market, or silly rugs on way fair or joss and main or overstock, it would be at least double what I was charged. IF YOU LIKE ART YOU NEED TO HAVE PAINTED WALLS!! Check out his website. Also....he got back to me within 15 minutes and was able to start the art two days later. Time is of the essence. read more

We can not recommend Dionisio enough. He did a couple of projects for us and they both look amazing! He patiently listened to our ideas and was able to make sense of all of them and translate them into fabulous works of art. Anyone who sees the walls can not figure out what material it is and are totally impressed that it is plaster. The walls, specially the fireplace wall is a focal point as you enter our home and is definitely a conversation piece. Dionisio's work is not only beautiful but he is very clean and finishes the project within the promised timeline. He is creative and provides great recommendations based on the look you are looks for. read more

I don't write a lot of reviews however, I felt compelled to write one in regards to Colibri Painting and Wall Finishes. WOW, these guys are amazing! Dio and his team are true artisans and we're thrilled that we chose them for our project. Dio met with us to discuss our needs and quickly grasped exactly what we were looking for in the way of custom finishes for a new wine cellar as well as a downstairs bathroom. He showed us samples with colors and textures and that were perfect for our project(s). They were on time, on budget and did an amazing job of prepping and customizing our walls and ceilings. The clean up at the end of each day and the job was exceptional as well. Every single person that sees either of these rooms immediately comments on the custom walls and ceilings. Major wow factor! If you're looking for a unique, cool, custom finish on your walls, ceiling, etc., Dio and Colibri are your guys. You will be absolutely thrilled with their professionalism, artistry and most importantly... the results! read more

Dio's work is top-notch. That's undeniable. But what makes him truly rare is that he is as honest as he is talented. He understands how to manage a project, communicate timing, pricing, expectations, and collaborate appropriately on the design. When you hire Colibri Wall Finishes, you instantly feel like Dio is part of the team, willing to get his hands dirty (while keeping your job site clean) and go that extra distance to make your client happy and get you the result you want. read more

My experience with Studios Colibri was stellar from start to finish. Dio responded right away to my request for a faux concrete plaster feature wall and immediately scheduled an in-person consultation. He was extremely helpful in walking me through the design process, presenting samples of various colors & textures, in order to get the finish I wanted. You leave the consultation knowing that you're in good hands. The site team, James and Rex, were fantastic. They were on time, friendly, respectful, worked quietly, and kept the site clean. The whole project was estimated to take 2 days, which is exactly what it took. The final product is absolutely stunning and beyond what I expected. It truly is a work of art. These guys aren't just contractors, they're true artists. I won't hesitate to use Studios Colibri again and would highly recommend them to anyone else. read more

Dio is amazing. He did a large concrete wall and curated and supervised a piano painting project for the kids. Those two things are THE focal points in the house. Photos to follow. Not only is he talented, but he is kind and creative with great energy and he is great to be around. He also started and finished everything when he said he would and kept everything perfectly clean. I look forward to collaborating with Dio on more projects in the future. read more

Amazing quality of work!! And great group of professionals, so nice to see the beauty of the work Dio and his team did in our bathroom

First off you should know Dio is an artist not a painter. That being said he is more than capable of doing any job. His whole process is very organic. Nothing feels rushed. He asks for your ideas, gives you some of his and then there is a discussion. He sets proper expectations, he sets accurate timelines, and he sticks by them. We had an amazing experience where Dio allowed our kids to be part of one of the paintings. This was both nerve racking and joyous to watch. It of course turned out amazing. We can not recommend Dio highly enough. You will not be disappointed. read more

Dionisio was the pinch hitter for us in a big job in Los Angeles last year. We had to find him and have work complete in a week or so and he was the most professional, communicative and reliable. His work was stunning and exactly met what we were looking for. We would love to work with him again. He is worth every bit of his cost and I only wish we had found him sooner. read more
