Rafael
Cueto
Rafael Cueto is an artist who builds permanence into space. Over decades of study and practice, he has mastered a constellation of techniques so rare that fewer than a handful of practitioners in the world command them at his level — among them Scagliola, the centuries-old Italian art of fashioning stone from plaster, and the chemical deposition process behind his extraordinary handmade mirrors.
His work spans two worlds: large-scale architectural interventions — luxury residences, boutique hotels, historic buildings, private chapels and commercial spaces where the architecture itself becomes art — and intimate commissions, singular pieces crafted for collectors and individuals who understand that the rarest luxury is something made by one pair of hands, once, for you.
Based in Houston, Texas, Rafael takes on projects across the United States and internationally. He approaches every commission as a collaboration, working closely with architects, interior designers, and clients to translate vision into material reality. No two works are the same. Since we work with the clients vision.
