Commissions
Commission is always a collaboration between the artist and a buyer. As a collector, it is your chance to be a part of the creative process and bring to life something that will be personal and meaningful to you.
Marc and Suzanne Brenner, NY (ex Senior Vice President and CIO of The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
While I’m just a novice art collector, my wife has a keen understanding of art, having worked at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for 18 years. We saw Anna Sudbina’s The Library on Singulart and both fell in love with it. We immediately wanted to purchase the painting, but the space we had in mind really called for a larger piece. So we contacted Anna and asked her if she could revise the work to fit the space we needed. She agreed, and began the process, even going so far as to send us photos and video of the progress she was making. When we received the final piece and hung it on the wall, it was absolutely perfect! It now has become one of our favorite pieces of art in our possession. Thank you Anna!

Having known Anna as a friend for many years and coming from a family of artists myself, I’ve always been struck by her natural talent and unique style of painting. Her forms, shapes and use of colour are extraordinary and captivating on an emotional level.
When I moved into my new home, it was only a matter of time until I asked her to do some paintings for me (just purchased my third one!) Anna was able to take some general guidelines to put together some pieces which have really brought the rooms in my house to life with moving, colourful and vibrant pieces. Really I can not recommend her enough.
Suzanne O’Donovan, Somerset
I came across Anna’s work online and loved the texture and softness of the paint technique alongside the defined linear ink lines. I had been looking for something for our living room and so, commissioned Anna to do a piece for above our mantle.
I’m so pleased with the results - without being too ‘matchy’ it perfectly complements the fireplace, and the rest of the room. This was my first ever art commission - so I was a little nervous but Anna kept in touch throughout and both the work and delivery were very prompt, and I have something beautiful to gaze at from my sofa! I’d have no hesitation commissioning Anna again or recommending her.
I can work with your very concrete reference images to create an abstract painting that tells a story.
Here the collector commissioned a piece of art to remind him of South Africa where he grew up and chose a few photographs of the South African landscape and wild lions as a point of departure. You can see stages of work in progress and the final result.
WHY COMMISSION?
- You like a particular artwork that is already sold or is not the right size.
- You like my style and would like an artwork that is unique and personal.
- You are looking for an artwork that has a specific colour palette.
PROCESS
All you have to do is get in touch.
We discuss your ideas, requirements, wishes and agree on the size and timeline.
You can be as involved in the process as you like.
30% deposit is taken upon agreement to proceed with commission. I will be in touch with images of work in progress to give you the opportunity to make suggestions during the creation of your artwork.
Once completed I will provide high resolution images and a video for you to see the painting. A studio visit can also be arranged if you are in London.
You would then pay the outstanding amount and the artwork is securely packaged and shipped with a courier.
CANCELLATIONS
In those exceptional circumstances when you don't feel like the artwork I was tasked to create is quite inline with your expectations, I will refund the deposit and the painting goes into the open market for sale.
