Simes Studios is specialized in finding innovative ways to create a contemporary design. Through individual attention, they bring to life a client’s vision and customize each project to create a unique and truly memorable space. Located in an elegant, renovated stable in Bucktown and unified under the direction of Cindy and Jorge Simes, the studio had its beginnings where the couple met: in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There they studied traditional decorative painting techniques and produced their first commissions. In 1988 they moved to Chicago and soon Simes Studios was set up. Since that time, they have blossomed into a growing business with a full time group of professional artists and support staff. The studio is renown for their singular style and for the attention given to detail, incorporating historical references, cross-cultural influences and striking visual effects into their custom work. Their manifold techniques include eglomise, murals, custom glazing and textured finishes, trompe l’oeil, Venetian stucco, stenciling, gilding, custom mirroring and etching, faux bois and marble, painted furniture and floors.
