Commissions

Custom paintings for your space, created in my hard-edge geometric style. If you love a piece from my portfolio but need a different size or a tailored color palette, I would be happy to create a work that fits your vision and room.

Every commission is original. I sketch by hand, mix new colors for each project, and build the composition specifically for you. Your painting will be one of a kind.

What you will receive

  • Original acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas

  • Painted edges for a clean, frame-free presentation

  • Ready to hang with hardware installed

  • Signed on the back and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity

  • Secure, insured worldwide shipping with tracking

The process

  1. Inquiry and brief
    Share your ideas, preferred size, color palette, photos of your space, and any inspiration from my past series.

  2. Concept and proposal
    I translate your brief into a concept, timeline, and price. You will receive a short proposal with size options and a palette direction.

  3. Booking
    A 50% deposit reserves your slot in the studio schedule.

  4. Creation
    I paint your piece in stages. You can choose one of two paths:

    • Progress updates with one round of minor refinements included.

    • Surprise reveal for clients who prefer to experience the finished work on delivery.

  5. Approval and delivery
    Once approved, I carefully pack the painting and ship it to you. Local pickup in Calgary can be arranged.

Sizing and timelines

  • Common sizes range from 24 x 24 in to 60 x 72 in. Custom dimensions are welcome.

  • Typical timeline is 3 to 6 weeks, depending on size and studio schedule. Rush options are sometimes available.

Color and space matching

If you provide photos of the room, I can tune the palette to complement your furniture, textiles, or architectural details. I can also propose two palette variations so you can choose your favorite direction before I begin.

Pricing

Pricing is based on size and complexity. The proposal will include a clear total, the deposit amount, and shipping details. Remaining balance is due before shipping.

I would love to create something for you. Use the form below or email me at elena@elena-alexander.com with your size, color ideas, ideal timeline, and a photo of your space.

Frequently asked questions

Will my painting look exactly like a past work I admire?

It will carry the spirit of that piece, but I do not copy. Each painting has its own hand-drawn geometry and freshly mixed colors.

Can I request changes?

One round of minor adjustments is included when you choose the progress updates path. Additional changes can be quoted if needed.

When will I get my custom painting?

Typical timeline is 3 to 6 weeks, depending on size and studio schedule. Rush options are sometimes available.

Do you work with designers and corporate clients?

Yes. Trade inquiries and NDAs are welcome.

Can I request more than one piece for a coordinated series?

Absolutely. Many clients commission diptychs, triptychs, or grouped works designed to harmonize across a room or office space. I can create a cohesive set that shares a palette and structure while keeping each painting original.

Do you offer digital mockups of the painting in my room?

Yes. If you send me a photo of your wall, I can create a simple digital mockup to help you visualize scale and color before we begin.
