Commissioning an artwork is a negotiation—between the artist and the patron, between need and desire, the fleeting and the fixed. It’s not just about possession, but about capturing something transient, turning the intangible into something tangible that can be touched, hung, or remembered. In a world that moves too quickly, you seek to still the blur, to create something uniquely yours. The artist, in turn, is both mirror and translator, rendering what cannot be seen into a form that shifts your understanding of yourself. The process is a collaboration, where the vision starts uncertain, changes shape, and becomes something neither artist nor patron fully anticipated—a hybrid of imagination and reality, a truth that only the artist can offer. It’s an act of transformation, a quiet agreement that what you seek is not merely possession but meaning.
