Caroline Lizarraga: The Art of Surface

Join Cooritalia & Elementi for an immersive exploration of materiality and artistry featuring renowned decorative artist Caroline Lizarraga. Known for her richly layered finishes and detailed approach to architectural surfaces, Lizarraga will demonstrate how texture, tone, and movement can transform the built environment.

Set within a curated installation of architectural elements, this event invites architects and designers to experience the dialogue between raw material and applied artistry. Through live demonstration and conversation, guests will gain insight into Lizarraga’s process—where pigment meets stone, and surfaces become expressive, tactile works of art.

About the Artist: With hands permanently covered in plaster and paint, I’m happiest working in Old World ways. I trained for my craft in the cobblestoned streets of Florence, Italy, and continue to bring that antiquated sensibility to all of my projects today. You’ll find me on every job site, working each layer of color and detailing solely by hand.

I’m passionate not only about creating amazing interior environments but also in helping my clients find and express their own distinctive style. No two jobs are ever alike. Whether it’s a boutique hotel in Napa Valley, an expansive winery estate, or a private residence, my approach is always the same: create a space that is utterly authentic and magically artful. – Caroline Lizarraga
