Art That Inspires: How Ihor Stadolskii Turned Decorative Plaster into an International Signature Brand


Ukrainian decorative finishes expert Ihor Stadolskii is now working in the United States, where his Florida-based company, Ecosurface, has gained recognition—particularly for its unique projects, including star ceiling installations and advanced microcement solutions. However, his journey began in a small town in the Chernihiv region of Ukraine.

From an early age, Ihor was drawn to creativity and experimentation with materials. His first construction jobs gave him a key realization: a wall can become a canvas for art. That insight sparked his desire to combine technical knowledge with artistic vision—creating not just finishes, but full interior environments with character.

He built his professional foundation in Kyiv, graduating from a construction college and later earning a degree in Construction Engineering from the National Aviation University. A major turning point came in Portugal, where he immersed himself in decorative plaster techniques, blending European traditions with his own experimental approach. In the United States, Ihor has earned recognition for projects that combine engineering precision with a distinctive artistic signature.

His work stands out for its unique textures and multi-layered effects. Stadolskii creates surfaces that transform the perception of space—from warm microcement finishes with subtle 3D depth to sophisticated combinations of metal, concrete, and decorative plaster. This approach not only results in memorable interiors but also significantly increases their market value.

A notable example is the Armina Luxe high-end kitchen showroom in Miami. Ihor’s custom finishes became the final touch that elevated the space, adding a sense of refined luxury and attracting attention from designers and developers. Projects like this demonstrate that decorative plaster is not just a design element—it is an investment in property value.

His acoustic star ceiling solutions combine visual elegance with high-performance sound properties, transforming any room into an immersive and atmospheric environment.

The economic value of his work is supported by results. Optimized techniques help clients save time and resources, while proprietary material systems ensure durability and uniqueness. Clients consistently note not only his craftsmanship, but also his ability to see finishes not as materials, but as tools for shaping style, identity, and mood.

Today, Ihor is expanding beyond project work. He is developing the concept of a decorative arts school, designed to train the next generation of professionals and share his proprietary techniques. Plans also include launching his own line of materials that combine aesthetics with performance.

His work is already shaping a recognizable signature in the world of interior design. Yet for Ihor, the greatest success remains simple: the moment a client walks into a space and says, “This is exactly where I feel at home.”
