Christie's envisioned epic classical Italian-style subjects for the murals and art throughout the 80 million dollar Caribbean estate and Wolfe was the one for the task. One of Decora's fortes and highest passions is working directly with the architect and interior designer from the project's onset ... so as to totally integrate the art with the architectural vision. Here Decora's director Wolfe was able to do this exact thing when it came to insetting ceiling murals and even designing the entire interior including murals for the in-home theater to align with the theater's epic wall and ceiling murals he masterfully created.

MAUI THE HAWAIIAN DEMIGOD
Wolfe's 1985 original oil on canvas portrayal of the Hawaiian demigod measures 36" wide by 48" high and was much more subdued in coloring compared to the highly chromatic versions that have been used in most printing applications. In 1986 the artist went on to create ten full-size Artist Proofs of the original. Only three were created before the "Cibachrome" process used was discontinued for ecological reasons.Two of these APs were sold to prominent Maui collectors and Wolfe held onto the #1 print of those three, which the artist is now making available to the public art market.In 1987 Wolfe, along with some partners formed Arius Collection and worked with Gore Graphics of Los Angeles California to do the first run of 10,000 24" x 36" unlimited lithograph posters. The posters were a best-selling item in the various outlets Arius Collection had established throughout the islands. Yet, sales halted when Arius Collection ceased to exist. To date there are only 100 of these posters remaining from the initial lot of 10,000, which the artist is also finally making available to the public.

This is Decora.
My initial vision with Decora was essentially to raise the bar of art for the hospitality industry to a museum-quality level. That initial inspiration has blossomed even further since Decora's inception in 2018. On several occasions during my 40+ year multi-faceted art career I've had the pleasure of working alongside the project's architect and interior designer - whereby the art was intentionally integrated into the actual physical structures. This by far provided the highest possibility for a seamlessblend between art and architecture. Artistic direction is my passion -- pushing the bar higher with each new project. As such, my ideal client is one who is brave enough to follow the visions that come from creatively curious and explorative minds, with an intention to inspire the viewer. Beyond mere decoration, art can be imbued with a deeply moving and inspiring message ... even giving rise to healing.~ Christian Wolfe / Decora Founder & Director

by PACO
International artist, Paco, truly captures the essence of the flower in his "Eufloria" Collection. "Flowers represent the epitome of beauty and sensuality in its purest form ... something direly needed for us to remember", the artist conveys. This series of works brings a feeling that beautifully blends tranquility, whimsical playfulness, and passion. Perfect for hotels, spas, and hospitals.
These original one-off masterworks are part of the "Mythos" collection.
In these epic works Wolfe focuses on exalting the Feminine Spirit
throughout time, in either mythical or real-life historical events. Works from
the "Mythos" collection make sensational centerpiece paintings or murals.
by T.C.WOLFE
An exquisite collection by classical master artist Thomas Christian Wolfe. "Bloom" uses the
three simple elements of a dancer, flowers, and cloth to portray such profound beauty, elegance, and mystique. With "Bloom" you can transform the walls of your hotel, retreat center, or BNB
into a world-class museum.
by PACO
"Natura" captures extraordinary patterns of nature we may otherwise pass by unawares.
Maintaining a natural and organic aspect to what can serve for most "abstract" art purposes,
where the art is desired to create a calming atmosphere, while not being a distraction.
Natura is perfect for hotels, spas, offices, and hospitals.

We exist to create the extraordinary
ORIGINALS • GICLEES • SCULPTURES • CARVING • CEILING & WALL MURALS
TILEWORK • METALWORK • GLASSWORK • WALLPAPERS • FAUX FINISHING
Whatever can be conceived we can create ... in any style ... on any substrate.
The Five Stages of our Process
Our passion and forte is to engage at the very beginning stages of a given project and
work directly with your project's architect and interior design team to curate and conceive
of the best artistic possibility that maintains the standard of your establishment.
Consulting (free)
We offer our initial consultation for free as we only want to collaborate if there will be mutual alignment and benefit. Only upon establishing we are a mutually good fit will we progress to the designing phase.
Designing (two parts)
This is the exciting collaborative phase ... ideally working directly with your project's architect as well as interior designer. Magic happens here with the unplanned ideas that can emerge from the wellspring of endless possibilities. We want to achieve something truly unique here.
This phase includes us creating a prototype that assures you our initial ideas are actually solid and workable in your actual environment.
Once tested and approved we move on to full production.
Production
During this phase of creation we will give constant updates on the production progress ... especially in the case where new works are created throughout the duration of this production phase. Here you will have the chance to refine, change, or even reject any works that do not match the integrity of the approved vision.
Delivery
Our finished works are packaged with the utmost care to assure everything arrives in perfect condition. The works will all come with certificates of authenticity as well ... especially in the case of limited editions.
Installation
This is where we reunite with your project's architect and interior designer once again to assure the highest level of integration into your architecture.
Our installation team is just as meticulously qualified as our creative team.
Voilà ... Accomplished!
The "Natura" Collection
Natura captures extraordinary patterns of nature we may otherwise often pass by unawares ------
Maintaining a natural and organic aspect to what
can serve for most "abstract" art purposes,
where the art is desired to create an calming atmosphere, while not being a distraction.
The "Heroine" Collection
These original one-off paintings herein are part
of what artist Thomas Christian Wolfe calls his "HEROINE: Triumph of the Feminine Spirit" series. In these epic works Wolfe focuses on exalting the feminine spirit throughout time, in either mythical
or real-life historical individuals.
L'Esprit d'Innocence
Truly a classical masterpiece that will stand the test of time. This one-of-a-kind magnificent portrayal of Jeanne d'Arc, accompanied out of the Gates of Paris by the three angels that inspired her vision for France was created by Thomas Christian Wolfe over a 4-month period. The epic-scale work entitled "L'Esprit d'Innocence" measures 48" by 63".
Aurora Pacis
Latin for the Dawn of Peace, Wolfe's magnificent portrayal of a Valkyrie measures 48" wide by 80" high. There is quite a story behind this epic
work -- initially inspired and created for a global music star ... eventually ended up back in the
artist's possession and thereafter completely transformed into the work you see here.
Andromeda & Perseus
Yet, another epic portrayal of a timeless myth
that contains deep wisdom on the interactions
of male and female energy. Here, Wolfe portrays
Andromeda's savior entering as a ray of light.
This work is still in progress.
The "Bloom" Collection
Another exquisite collection by classical master artist Thomas Christian Wolfe. "Bloom" uses the
three simple elements of a dancer, flowers, and
cloth to portray such profound beauty, elegance, and mystique. With "Bloom" you can transform
the walls of your hotel into a world-class museum.
Elevating Hotel Aesthetics: Decora Redefines Art for Hospitality
Friday, March 8, 2024 by Lisa Helfer for Top Hotel Projects
Decora, a trailblazer in bespoke art for hotels and architecture, is unveiling a new paradigm in hotel aesthetics. With a steadfast commitment to excellence, Decora sets the stage for an unparalleled guest experience through its meticulously crafted and curated art pieces.
In an era where city-based vacationers allocate 20%-40% of their time in hotels and resort-based guests spend 80% or more of their stay on-site, the significance of an environment’s aesthetic appeal cannot be overstated. Decora recognizes this crucial element in guest satisfaction, creating museum-quality works of art that transcend general decorations.
“At Decora, our mission is to venture beyond traditional decor and inspire the soul of every viewer,” said T. Christian Wolfe, Founder and Director at Decora. “We collaborate with interior design visionaries who share our bold aspiration to integrate art that leaves an indelible mark on its audience.”
