Brief an Abstract Painting Through Three Visual Decisions

Choose where the visual weight sits

Point to the dark or dense area in a reference. Say whether you want a central focal point, an off-center balance or an even spread of activity.

Set the amount of quiet space

An airy abstract and a busy gestural painting can use the same colors. Identify how much open ground you want around the main marks.

Define the movement of the marks

Choose broad sweeps, small layered marks or still blocks of color. Describe the direction and energy rather than relying only on a word such as modern.

We paint abstract art by hand, to order, to your palette, your mood and your exact wall size. Oil or acrylic on canvas, your choice. Never printed. You do not need art words to brief us. A room photo, three colors and one mood word is enough. Give us a paint code or a fabric swatch and we mix that color and send you a photo of it under daylight before we paint. You see progress photos while we paint, then photos of the finished canvas. Nothing ships until you approve it. There is no minimum order, and WhatsApp replies are usually immediate; email replies usually arrive within 12 hours.

Custom abstract painting: the facts in one place

Most people who commission an abstract have one worry: what if I hate it? Our process is built around that worry, with a photo to react to at every step.

Popular starting points

A specific wall and a color scheme to match. An exact size. Several pieces that must work as a set. A painting you saw but need in your colors.

Let’s discuss the details

Send any artwork reference, its source and your required arrival date. We can discuss reproduction or a custom interpretation, permissions and timing. The finished piece is painted by hand; tell us which surface qualities matter to you.

Six abstract styles we paint

Color field

Large, soft areas of color with little or no drawing. Calm and quiet. Good for bedrooms.

Gestural

Big, fast brush and knife marks that show the hand moving. Energy for living rooms, lobbies and offices.

Organic shapes

Rounded, overlapping forms in a warm palette, close to mid-century design. Easy to live with.

Contemporary minimalist

A few clean blocks or strokes and plenty of empty space. See the contemporary minimalist collection. If you want hard edges instead, grids, arches and color blocks live on our custom geometric paintings page.

Maximalist

Many colors, thick paint, high contrast, no empty space. See the maximalist collection.

Textured plaster

Thick impasto and plaster-like relief that casts real shadows. See the textured and plaster collection.

How to brief an abstract when you do not know art words

Tell us four things. A phone is enough for all of them.

Room photo. One photo of the wall in daylight, far enough back to see the sofa, rug and floor.
Three colors. Sage, cream and a little rust is a complete brief. Paint codes or a fabric are even better.
One mood word. Calm, bold, warm, airy, moody, playful. It tells us how much energy to put in the marks.
One reference. A Pinterest board, a screenshot, a painting you like, a render, or an AI image. We use it for the feel, not to copy it.

Send all of this through the quote form. If you want to see what goes into the number before you write, how we quote walks through it.

Use other artists’ abstracts to explain color, movement or balance, and identify their sources. Reproducing a particular composition requires a separate discussion of permission and attribution.

Matching your sofa, rug and paint colors

Yes, we can paint an abstract to match your sofa, your rug and your wall color. Send the paint code from your wall or trim, a photo of the rug in daylight, and a fabric swatch or a close photo of the sofa. For a paint code, we mix that color in the studio and send you a photo of the mixed paint under daylight. You approve the color before we touch the canvas. For fabric or a rug, we do the same with the key color pulled from the swatch. More on our color-matched paintings page.

Custom Abstract Paintings Sizes & Placement

Any size. We offer 60 standard sizes from 24 by 20 inches up to 80 by 60 inches, plus sets of two and three. Any other size is painted to your measurements at the same rate. If your wall needs 66 by 40 inches, we paint 66 by 40 inches. Larger single canvases beyond 80 by 60 inches, up to 5 meters (about 16 feet), are quoted case by case. Send the wall width and the height above the sofa or console, and we will suggest a size that fills the wall without crowding it.

Diptych, two panels. Good for a wide wall over a long sofa or bed, and easier to ship than one very wide canvas.
Triptych, three panels. Fills a long wall in a hallway, dining room or lobby. The same palette flows across all three.

For very large walls and sets, see extra-large paintings and multi-panel paintings.

Texture and finish: smooth, layered or thick impasto

Smooth. Flat, even color with soft edges. Best for color field and minimalist work. Smooth abstracts can roll in a tube, which is the cheapest way to ship several pieces at once.
Layered. Visible brush and knife strokes with some build-up. The usual finish for gestural and organic abstracts.
Thick impasto and plaster. Paint that stands off the canvas and casts shadows. Heavy texture ships stretched or framed, never rolled, because rolling thick paint can crack it.

Oil stays workable longer and builds ridges well, so it suits thick texture. Acrylic gives crisp edges and flat, even fields. Both are available, and you choose. Heavy texture sits at the top of its production band because thick paint has to dry between layers, and oil takes longer still. More on our textured paintings page. If you want to know who holds the brush and in what order the layers go down, read how we paint.

Finishes: rolled in a tube, stretched on solid wood bars, or framed in black, white, wood, silver or gold. All five frame colors cost the same.

Custom Abstract Paintings Timeline & Approval

Quote and brief. You send the room photo, colors, mood and reference. WhatsApp replies are usually immediate; email replies usually arrive within 12 hours.
Color approval. If you gave us a paint code or fabric, we send a daylight photo of the mixed color. You approve or ask for a change.
Painting. 1 to 5 pieces take 7 to 10 business days. 6 to 20 take 10 to 15. Heavy texture and pieces 36 by 48 inches or larger sit at the top of the band. We send progress photos, so you can speak up early.
Finished photos. We photograph the finished canvas and send the photos. It ships only when you say yes.
Repaint if needed. A defect that is our fault is repainted at our cost.

For interior designers, hotels and offices

No minimum order. Trade pricing from one piece, better at 6 pieces and again at 21. Different designs across different projects count together.
For a series across floors or rooms, tell us up front that the pieces belong together. We plan the palette as one set and send progress photos of each so you can compare them before anything ships.
For a first order or a large project we paint a sample. The sample is a separate single-piece order, and the larger order is quoted on its own.
Freight quoted at cost. For most countries you can choose duties included in the delivery quote (DDP), or pay the duties yourself on arrival. Rolled canvas is the cheapest way to ship more than about 20 pieces. Stretched and framed pieces travel in a wooden crate, and the crate count is confirmed before transport is booked.

Start from our pure abstract collection

Our pure abstract collection has 22 designs, and 115 catalog pieces carry the abstract style tag. Any of them can be resized, recolored or reworked for your room. Three examples:

Soft blush sage and cream color-block minimalist painting MA01. Swap the blush for your wall color and keep the sage.
Crimson black and orange gestural expressionist painting XA02. Big, fast marks. Ask for it in navy and gold, or in one color on white.
Orange yellow and gray organic shapes mid-century abstract canvas AA05. Rounded shapes on cream. Easy to recolor to a rug or a cushion.

Did not find what you like? Send us what you like and we paint it

Send what you do like: a Pinterest board, a room photo, a rug or fabric sample, paint codes, a render, or an AI image. We build an original painting from it, to your size, and you approve it by photo before it ships. See paint your design for briefs that start from your own artwork, and AI image to painting if your reference came from an image generator. All commissions live on our custom art hub.

A few designs are not painted on canvas at all. Where the technique is a watercolor wash, the piece is made on pure cotton watercolor paper, because that surface is what lets the color bleed the way it should. We tell you which surface a design uses when we quote it.

Custom Abstract Paintings Sizes & Quote Planning

Your dimensions, in cm or inches

Compare the painting’s visual weight with the furniture below it. A sparse composition and a dense one feel different at equal dimensions; share a straight-on room photo with measurements.

What changes this commission’s quote

Painting detail

Composition development, palette changes and density of marks.

Delivery planning

One canvas or a coordinated set, package dimensions and destination.

How we prepare your quote

Custom Abstract Paintings Questions Answered

How can I brief an abstract without asking for a copy of another painting?

Use references to identify separate qualities: one for color, another for movement and another for open space. Explain what you like in each. This gives the new composition a clear direction without treating one existing work as a complete blueprint.

Can I request a quiet abstract in strong colors?

Yes. Strong color does not require a busy composition. Discuss fewer shapes, larger areas of open ground and controlled contrast. Mark the colors that should dominate and those that should appear only as accents.

Can you paint an abstract to match my sofa, rug and paint colors?

Yes. Send the paint code for your wall, a daylight photo of the rug, and a fabric swatch or a close photo of the sofa. We mix the key colors in the studio and send you a photo of the mixed paint under daylight. You approve the colors before we start the canvas. You also see progress photos while we paint and photos of the finished piece before it ships.

Is a custom abstract oil or acrylic, and does it matter?

We paint in acrylic unless you ask for oil. Oil is available on request. Because oil dries slowly between layers, oil pieces take longer.

Do you send a sketch or color sample before painting?

If you give us a paint code or a fabric swatch, we mix that color and send a photo of it under daylight for approval before we paint. During painting we send progress photos so you can react early, while changes are still easy. For a first order or a large project we paint a sample piece. It is a separate single-piece order, and the larger order is quoted on its own.

What if the finished painting does not look like what I imagined?

This is the reason for the photo steps. You approve the mixed colors first, then see progress photos as the composition forms, then photos of the finished canvas. Nothing ships until you say yes, so the moment to ask for changes comes before shipping, not after. If a piece has a defect that is our fault, we repaint it at our cost.

How long does a large abstract painting take?

1 to 5 pieces take 7 to 10 business days. 6 to 20 take 10 to 15. Pieces 36 by 48 inches or larger, heavy texture and multi-panel sets sit at the top of their band because thick paint has to dry between layers, and oil takes longer still. Then add shipping: express by FedEx or DHL takes 5 to 10 business days, and sea freight takes 25 to 40 days.

How do you ship a big stretched abstract without cracking the paint?

Heavy texture always ships stretched or framed, never rolled, because rolling thick paint can crack it. Stretched and framed canvases travel in a wooden crate, and we confirm the crate count with you before transport is booked. Smooth abstracts can be rolled in a tube, which is the cheapest option when you are shipping several pieces at once.

We are an interior design firm. Can we order abstracts for several projects at once and get trade pricing?

Yes. There is no minimum order and trade pricing starts from one piece. The rate improves at 6 pieces and again at 21, and different designs across different projects count together toward those breaks. For a first order or a large project we paint a sample. It is a separate single-piece order, and the larger order is quoted on its own. Full trade terms are on our trade page.

How do I pay for a custom abstract painting?

Payment is usually a 50 percent deposit, with the balance before the goods are released for collection. We accept wire transfer, PayPal or card, and the terms are confirmed on the invoice. Freight is quoted separately at cost, whether express, air or sea. For most countries you can choose duties included in the delivery quote (DDP), or pay the duties yourself on arrival.
