CUSTOM ART COMMISSIONS

A commissioned painting is far more than decor—it’s a deeply personal creation, a mirror of your spirit, values, and dreams. It’s art that uplifts, inspires, and becomes a part of your daily life.

We’re honored to craft something meaningful, created just for you.

To create the most resonant piece, it’s best to come with an open heart and a bit of trust in the creative process. Share what moves you—your inspiration, imagery, symbols, or emotions—then let go and allow us to interpret and shape it through thoughtful collaboration.

A wonderful way to begin is by browsing our portfolio. It offers not only inspiration but also a sense of the expressive style we’re known for.

PRICING & PAYMENTS For Commissioned Paintings

Your journey begins with a complimentary 30-minute call where we’ll explore your vision, desired timeline, and the space where your artwork will live. We’ll also touch on practicalities such as shipping and any other details you’d like to cover. It’s an opportunity to connect and ensure we’re the right fit for collaboration.

Within 48 hours of our conversation, you’ll receive a tailored project proposal featuring a few thoughtful options. Once we’ve aligned on the details outlined there, we’ll move forward into the sketch phase.

To reserve your commission, a $500 non-refundable deposit secures your place in our schedule and covers the creative consultations and initial sketchwork. This amount will be applied to your final balance. If you choose not to proceed beyond the sketch phase, your deposit may be credited toward other offerings on our site and remains valid for 30 days.

Upon sketch approval, we request 30%–50% of the total project cost to initiate material sourcing. The remaining balance is payable either upon completion or in agreed-upon installments throughout the process.

Pricing begins at $2,500 and varies based on size, materials, and intricacy. Our smallest format is 24 x 30 inches, with an estimated rate of $3 per square inch. Significant use of genuine 24k gold may affect pricing. Our hourly rate is $150.

THE COMMISSION PROCESS

GETTING STARTED
Following the initial call, we’ll arrange a more in-depth session—either in person or virtually—to delve into your vision. We consider everything from practical needs and emotional tone to spatial context and artistic energy. These sessions typically run 45–60 minutes and help us align creatively and conceptually.

SKETCHES
We’ll then develop one or more sketches to reflect your concept. You’ll receive them via email and may request up to three refinements. These sketches offer a glimpse into the palette and structure, though the final painting may evolve intuitively from this foundation.

IMPLEMENTATION
Once approved, we begin bringing your piece to life. The timeline depends on the work’s scope and complexity, but we provide updates throughout—sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses as the painting unfolds. Whether it spans weeks or months, each phase is approached with care and intention.

TRANSPORT
When your artwork is ready, we’ll coordinate pickup, local delivery, or shipping. Shipping fees are additional and depend on the painting’s size—we’ll provide a detailed quote in advance.

LICENSING
As the creators, we retain rights to reproduce and sell prints of the artwork unless otherwise agreed upon. Should you be interested in exclusive rights, let us know—we’re happy to explore custom licensing options.
