My summer canvas commission: the creative process

What a blessing! After 4 years of using spray paint, this August 2024 I was commissioned to paint 4 1x2 m canvases for my company. It was a 2 month process painted in Rionce Studios Ladywell and they were shipped internationally for the London, Copenhagen, Seattle, and Minneapolis offices. So much magic was poured into these…

week 1-2: Sketching out the first round of designs

First I collaborated with the Chief HR officer, Chief of Staff, Art Director and Employer Brand consultant to come up with the designs

weeks 2-4: finalizing the mock-ups

Then I incorporated their feedback from the first sketches into the final round of mock-ups below

weeks 4-8: 9 days of Painting in the studio

It was an absolute joy to paint in Rionce Ladywell using spray paint and posca pen - I 100% recommend her studio for any London based creatives! Photographers, dancers, models, artists, whatever your practise, all are welcome…

the finished pieces

After pouring my heart and soul into these, they are finally ready to be shipped internationally. Thanks to KMAB Productions for the flicks—he also captured my Rave Report event beautifully here. Infinite gratitude to all involved!!!
