Floor 1
Many of the art pieces embedded into Lamberto’s floors or concrete slabs are not completely obvious. This allows the viewer to be surprised when they “discover” the image. Lamberto enjoys creating subtle images for people to find. If you look closely, you’ll see Don Quixote riding a giant ostrich.

Although floors and slabs are given a gloss seal for protection and durability, Lamberto’s scoring technique “ages” the slab to create a new, but lived in feel, as if the stained pieces are ancient.

Floor 3
Imperfections on concrete slabs, such as hairline cracks or stubborn spots, become interesting when incorporated into the design and color application.

Lamberto photographs his work in progress so that a “related” image can be reproduced as a canvas painting. The result is total harmony with “little echoes” of finished stain work and a similar image on canvas. Lamberto often creates a painting at the request of the customer to tie in with the rustic feel of the concrete art.

Floor 5
A portion of a floor in progress also shows a shoe so that the proportion of the design can be appreciated. Acid stain is unpredictable, which makes it a challenge when a particular color palette is desired. Lamberto strives for the desired effect, but is also pleasantly surprised with the unusual patterns achieved accidentally. His years of working with acrylic and oil paint, color dyes, and watercolor have prepared him to make the most of unpredictability.
