Mark Uriu Inc

Painting in New York is less about covering walls and more about translating the city’s rhythm onto every surface. Mark Uriu Inc operates from 1556 3rd Ave #201C, a studio tucked above the street-level energy of the Upper East Side. The work spans residential interiors, commercial facades, and custom murals—each brushstroke calibrated to the scale of urban living rather than suburban calm.

Walk-ups, brownstones, and pre-war co-ops dominate the blocks around here, demanding a painter who understands historic trim, tight corners, and the way light slants off Fifth Avenue. Mark Uriu’s team handles color matching, surface prep, and specialty finishes without turning the apartment into a construction zone. A call to (212) 828-3160 can schedule a walk-through before the first drop cloth is laid.

Directions are straightforward: the map pinpoints the studio above a row of storefronts that have seen generations of New Yorkers pass by. No need to guess which buzzer—just press “201C” and step into the elevator that smells faintly of coffee and turpentine.
