for INTERIOR DESIGNERS
A good interior is the result of many well-considered decisions.
And sometimes, of a question that has not yet been asked.
I enter the collaboration as an artist.
I bring a sensitivity to colour, proportion, material and composition, as well as an ability to perceive
the relationships between individual elements and the whole.
I look at your project from an artist's perspective and explore the role art can play within it.
It can carry meaning, create a focal point or change the way we experience a space.
And add another layer - a personal connection between a person and what truly matters to them.
HOW CAN WE COLLABORATE?
ART FOR A SPECIFIC INTERIOR
When you are looking for a work of art that stands on its own while supporting the whole.
From my existing works, we look for the one that enters into the right relationship with the architecture, light, materials, scale,
and the person the space is being created for. I am not looking for a colour match. I am looking for a meaningful relationship between the artwork, the space, and the person.
CUSTOM PAINTING
When the painting has its origins in the person the space is being created for.
You can invite something into your design that cannot be found in any catalogue or among existing works — the client themselves.
The painting then brings a personal layer into the interior, connecting your concept with the life of the person it is being created for.
FINE ART REPRODUCTION
When the project calls for a different scale, material, or repetition of a motif.
Selected works can be adapted in format and execution to suit a specific project. This opens up possibilities for hotels, offices, residential developments, and interiors where the artistic layer needs to work across multiple spaces.
HOW DOES THE COLABORATION WORK?
1. FIRST, I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT.
I don't start with the artwork. I start with your project.
I want to understand the person the space is being created for, your intention, and the decisions you have already made. I work with visualisations, floor plans, material samples and photographs - and, ideally, experience the space in person.
2. I LOOK AT IT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.
You know the project. I enter it with an artist's eye.
I notice the relationships between the person and the place, between the details and the whole. I look for the role art can play within them.
👉 Sometimes, a different perspective reveals what matters most.
3. WE FIND THE ARTISTIC RESPONSE
An existing original, a commissioned painting, or a fine art reproduction.
Together, we look for a solution that makes sense in relation to the person, the space, and your concept. And sometimes, the right decision may be to leave the space without an artwork.
4. WE BRING IT INTO REALITY
If my work is part of the solution, I take responsibility for my part of the process.
4. WE BRING IT INTO REALITY
If my work is part of the solution, I take responsibility for my part of the process.
We agree on the format, technical specifications, timeline, delivery, and installation so that everything works with your schedule and the way you manage the project.
👉 You are your client's partner, I am yours.
👇 But the collaboration doesn't end there...
MY ARTWORK DIRECTLY IN YOUR VISUALIZATIONSAs part of the collaboration, you will gain access to a database of my paintings, which you can work with directly in your designs.
For a specific space, I can recommend works that are worth trying, or you can choose from the database yourself. We will then verify the selected paintings together in relation to the scale, materials, light and character of the interior.
