Custom Relief Tile

Rick did a fantastic job on our custom house address plaque. He made it exactly how we asked. It was more beautiful than we thought it could be. He communicated with us every step of the way and made the entire experience, fast, easy and super enjoyable. The plaque is just plain beautiful. I highly recommend him. Thanks!

Rick was an absolute pleasure to work with, taking into account all of my feedback! Most of all, he is an incredible artist and took into consideration all of my wishes and guidance while using his own creativity and artistic ability to make a wonderful piece of art! Will definitely look to work with him again in the future. Thanks Rick!

The lazy susan made by Rick R. arrived this week and I was exceedingly pleased with the work. All of the personalized pictures chosen were painted with precision. Communicating with Rick was a pleasure and he made me feel like he was as excited with the project as I was. It came in a well packed box in a very timely fashion. I would totally recommend his work.

I had a very positive experience working with Rick. His talent is obvious and he is very professional. I gave a slightly lower grade for communication as I showed him a website depicting the type of dog portraiture I was looking for but the first reveal of my project was definitely more in his own personal style in contrast to what I had requested, the difference being a very busy, colourful background compared to the subtle neutral background I had asked for. This affected the timeliness of the project as Rick cheerfully reworked the painting for me, as per my request. I found working with Rick to be lots of fun and very easy. He is talented and the resulting portrait of my dog is as unique as she is. It is amazing how well he captured her! I highly recommend people working with Rick.

This project was done on short notice and a completely custom idea, rick worked with me and got the tiles finished leaving me enough time to complete my project for my wife's anniversary gift. Turned out to be a very good choice of artists! The only reason I gave a lower score on communication is I was receiving emails from custom made telling me to make my final payment and didn't even realize that the tiles had already shipped. In the grand scheme of things I guess he was just to fast for custom made???

My partner and I are travelling to Prague in the summer and there is a wall there called the John Lennon Wall. It is a tribute wall to Lennon and his music that began as a rebellion against the communist reign after Lennon's death in the 80s. My partner's late brother and father were both big Lennon fans (fans would be an understatement) and she wanted to leave a tribute to them on the wall. I thought that we should stay true to the wall's theme and add a piece of artwork that was in the same style of the wall and that incorporated Lennon and his music. That was basically the description that I sent out to Rick, and below, you can see what he came up with. The likeness of each person is perfect... and I really could not have asked for anything better! In fact, we love it so much that we are now hesitant to leave the original on the wall and might want to keep it for ourselves!! Rick was very enthusiastic about the project, he said that he could do the project well and he did. He sent update photos and was a pleasure to communicate with. At the time of writing, the piece has not yet been shipped, so I couldn't comment on shipping and delivery in the ratings above, but I am sure that all will be well.

my project was worked on for about a month and never completed because of technical problems. i will need to try again soon.

Rick was really great to work with. Always kept me informed and did an awesome job!

I received our custom painted lazy Susan today. It is beautiful and the quality is exceptional. Every aspect of the design is very detail oriented. I could not be any happier with this piece. Well done Rick, it IS stunningly beautiful. Thank you!

He is a very kind and an absolute professional at what he does. The wonderful thing about working with him is that no matter what your budget (high or low) he gives you a lot more bang for your buck than many other makers would. I'd highly recommend him any day.

Rick did a fantastic job! It is not installed yet, but as soon as it is, I will send a picture. Rick knew exactly what I wanted, and sent my drawings of each stage. He answered my questions with confidence and professionalim. I would recommend Rick Rivadeneya for any mural project.

He is very sweet and flexible to work with. Everything I asked for was done perfectly and the communication was outstanding. He kept me informed every step of the process.

Overall, very satisfied thus far. Have yet to receive the product, but otherwise Rick was very professional and willing to communicate and work with me throughout the process.

Rick is amazing!! I saw something I wanted but couldn't afford so I asked him if he could do a version of the painting I loved. It is PERFECT!! He was so concerned about making me happy and delivering exactly what I wanted. He was so great to work with. I'm all the way across the country and when the package arrived, he even took the extra time to ensure everything was packaged perfectly- and my name was beautifully scribed on the box. He's a true artist. Five stars! Can't say enough good things. I won't hesitate to use him again.
