​

The Man Behind the Work

Every project completed by Picasso Faux Painting and Venetian Plastering bears the personal touch of one man: Bill O'Malia. A licensed contractor with over 35 years of experience in Venetian plaster application, faux painting, and decorative Italian finishes, Bill has spent his career doing what most contractors only claim to do — showing up on time, completing work on schedule, and consistently delivering results that go beyond what his clients expected when they first made the call.

​

Bill did not build his reputation on marketing or subcontracting. He built it job by job, wall by wall, across residential estates, commercial properties, hotels, and businesses throughout South Florida. From the grand living rooms of Palm Beach to the lobbies of Fort Lauderdale's hospitality properties, his work has left a mark on some of the most discerning interiors in the region. That body of work is the foundation on which Picasso Faux Painting and Venetian Plastering stands today.

​

His expertise spans the full spectrum of Italian decorative plaster techniques, including Marmorino, Travertino, Stucco Lustro, metallic and pearl finishes, and a wide range of contemporary and abstract applications, as well as an extensive catalog of faux painting techniques that includes wood graining, marble and stone effects, silk and suede finishes, cloud and sky effects, parchment and aged plaster treatments, and brick and industrial textures. When you work with Bill, you are accessing a depth of knowledge and a breadth of skill that is genuinely rare in the South Florida market.

​

A Personal Commitment to Every Project

What sets Picasso Faux Painting and Venetian Plastering apart from other decorative finishing contractors in South Florida is not simply the quality of the work, although that speaks for itself. It is the personal accountability that Bill brings to every single project he takes on. When you hire Picasso Faux Painting and Venetian Plastering, you are not handing your project off to a crew of painters with varying levels of experience and inconsistent results. You are working directly with Bill O'Malia from the initial consultation through to the final polish.

​

That means your project receives the full benefit of his expertise at every stage. Surface preparation, material selection, application technique, color layering, finishing, and sealing — every step is executed with the care and precision of someone who has spent decades mastering these skills and who understands that the difference between a good finish and an extraordinary one often comes down to the details that only an experienced eye would ever notice.

​

Bill's commitment to his clients does not end when the last coat is applied. He takes genuine pride in the relationships he builds through his work, and client satisfaction is not a metric he measures at the end of a project. It is the standard he holds himself to from the moment he walks through the door.

​

Authentic Italian Materials, Every Time

One of the distinguishing features of every Venetian plaster project undertaken by Picasso Faux Painting and Venetian Plastering is the use of authentic materials imported directly from Italy. In a market where many contractors cut costs by substituting domestic alternatives or synthetic approximations of Italian lime and marble plasters, Bill's insistence on sourcing the real thing is a reflection of his respect for the craft and his commitment to delivering results that stand the test of time.

​

The difference between authentic Italian plaster materials and their domestic counterparts is not subtle. Genuine Italian lime and marble-based plasters have a workability, a depth of color, and a finished luminosity that simply cannot be replicated by synthetic products. For clients in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Jupiter Island, and across South Florida who are investing in premium decorative finishes for their homes and businesses, using anything less than the authentic material is a compromise that is ultimately visible in the finished result.

​

A Reputation Built Across South Florida

Over the course of more than three decades, Bill O'Malia has built a reputation as one of the most trusted and respected decorative finishing contractors in South Florida. That reputation rests on a straightforward foundation: show up when you say you will, do the work to the highest possible standard, use the best available materials, and never leave a client with anything less than a result they are proud to show off.

​

Clients throughout Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Palm Beach, Jupiter, Jupiter Island, Stuart, Hobe Sound, Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach, and Naples have trusted Bill with their most important spaces, and the testimonials and referrals that continue to drive the business are a direct reflection of the consistency and quality he has delivered across every one of those projects.

​

The Intersection of Art and Craftsmanship

Decorative finishing at the level practiced by Picasso Faux Painting and Venetian Plastering sits at a unique intersection of fine art and skilled trade. It demands the technical precision of an experienced contractor and the artistic sensibility of someone who genuinely understands color, light, texture, and space. Bill O'Malia brings both to every project he undertakes, and it is that combination that makes the finished results so consistently remarkable.

​

Whether your project calls for the timeless elegance of polished Venetian plaster, the creative versatility of decorative faux painting, the personalized guidance of a professional color consultation, or the transformative impact of a fireplace makeover or wrought iron refinishing, Picasso Faux Painting and Venetian Plastering has the expertise, the materials, and the commitment to make it happen at the highest possible level.
