Looking for a unique gift or investment?

Have you considered commissioning an artwork? Give a gift that will keep on giving.

As an abstract artist, there are a few options to consider when requesting a commissioned artwork. From quirky, creative and inspiring paintings on the walls of our offices and workspaces which serve to provide us with motivation and enthusiasm which can also turn our homes into peaceful, private sanctuaries for relaxation. There are a few different ways in which quality art can transform our lives for the better.

Would you like to commission an abstract painting?

One of the very best ways to enjoy art is to commission a painting. There is the opportunity to have a one-on-one collaboration meeting with the artist. Painting commissions also enable you to discuss your artistic ideas as well as discuss options with the artist. For example, you may want a feature abstract piece in blues and turquoise that has a specific emotional connection of a calm ocean and blue sky.

When you choose to commission an artwork, you’ll not only be investing in an authentic, original artwork at a fair and competitive price, you’ll receive a personal signed certificate of authentication, and a signed photograph of the artist herself. These items add more value to your masterpiece.

Painting Commission with Outstanding Customer Service

After you’ve made up your mind to commission an artwork, the next step is to arrange a collaboration meeting with the artist to channel your ideas and bringing them to reality.

Following our first meeting together, an Upfront Agreement is prepared and sent to you for review and agreement. Once you have reviewed, there is always time to seek clarity on things that are not clear. This agreement is designed to ensure that all parties are on the same page before your unique project commences. The elements of the contract artwork are clear, and the price is agreed before commencement. There are no hidden surprises!

Pricing

Artwork commissions and the fee varies depending on the artwork size, and medium. An Upfront Agreement will be prepared following your collaboration meeting with the artist before the work starts. Once both parties have approved the Agreement, a 50% deposit is required in order for the project to start.

Once the artwork is complete, the customer is shown a visual either in person or a live photo. When you are happy with the artwork, the remaining 50% of payment is paid. Once full payment has been received, shipment is arranged. (see Shipping Costs below)
