This is quite a common question, and honestly, both options are good. If an already finished painting gives you something special that speaks to you instantly, that’s great. Plus you know what you’re getting.

But personally, I’m most passionate about commissioned pieces, and that’s really at the heart of what we do at ArtFlux. Here’s why:

🤝 You Co-Create the Art

With ArtFlux, you are part of the creative process.

Everything is based on your ideas, images, and vision. We use AI and digital previews to bring those ideas to life. Want the sky from one photo, the background from another, and a colour scheme that matches your living room ? No problem.

Our job is to blend your vision into stunning, handmade oil paintings. Custom paintings allow us to collaborate with you, sharing previews along the way and adjusting until you’re 100% happy.

🎯 It Fits Your Space and Budget

When you commission a painting through ArtFlux, you choose the orientation and size to fit the space on your walls. Since our pricing is based on size (per square cm/inch), you don’t have to compromise your ideas or budget, as we can scale it without losing the essence of your idea.

🌍 You Choose the Subject and Style – Anything is Possible

One of the best parts of creating custom artwork is the incredible variety of stories you tell, which are artists get to paint.

From a Greek sailing trip to a future dystopian city, from an Avatar-style mountain scene to beloved pets, our clients bring their ideas, we define the creations together — often achieving something even better than we imagined on our own.

That’s what makes every commission exciting, personal, and completelyunique.

❤️ Artists Love Commissions

You can ask any artist, we find it deeply rewarding to be asked to create a painting based on someone’s idea and creative journey. It allows the artist to showcase their skills while creating artwork that becomes part of someone’s story told to many admirers of the artwork hanging on their wall somewhere in the world.

🎨 Let’s Create Something Together

If you happen to find a ready-made painting, that’s great, and please browse our virtual gallery for images that can be transformed into oil paintings.

But if you have a specific idea, vision, photo, space, budget or combination in mind, then enquire about a custom commission. At ArtFlux, we’re passionate about turning your ideas into timeless, hand-painted oil artwork.
