In the world of modern interior design, decorative coatings have long ceased to be just an element of finishing. They are a separate language, an art form, and a way to express the character of a space. It is in this niche that Ukrainian craftsman Ihor Stadolskii has made a strong name for himself, having traveled the path from local Ukrainian projects to working on interiors in one of the most dynamic cities in the United States — Miami.

Ukrainian roots and the formation of a master

Ihor began his career in the construction and finishing field in Ukraine, where decorative plasters were gradually gaining popularity. His early projects included both residential and commercial spaces, but the most important was that he developed his technique, experimented with materials, and shaped his own approach.

From the very beginning, he stood out for his attention to detail and his desire to create not just “a nice renovation,” but fully artistic surfaces that convey the atmosphere of the space.

Moving to the USA: a challenge and an opportunity

After moving to the United States, Ihor immediately encountered a new market, a different level of competition, and high quality requirements. However, this became the stimulus for growth: he began deeply studying American materials, technologies, and standards while bringing his European aesthetic into the mix.

Miami is a city that values style, sustainability, and unconventional solutions. Ihor quickly realized that here, opportunities open up for those who know how to create individual surfaces that look luxurious, unique, and harmoniously fit into contemporary design.

Specialization and approach to work

Today, Ihor Stadolskyi works with a full range of decorative coatings:

• microcement

• Venetian plaster

• limewash

• mineral and textured coatings

• artistic custom textures

• commercial high-durability surfaces
   

What distinguishes his work is his “master + designer” approach: he does not simply apply techniques but helps clients choose the optimal texture, color, lighting effect, and surface protection.

The master’s core principle is to create surfaces that look elegant today and will look just as impressive many years from now.

Workshops and training

One important part of Ihor’s activity has become his hands-on workshops.
During these sessions, he teaches:

• correct work with professional materials
   

• techniques for applying various textures
   

• creating smooth, seamless surfaces
   

• proper surface preparation and protective systems
   

In Miami and the surrounding cities, these trainings attract both beginners and experienced craftsmen who want to elevate the quality of their work.
