COMMISSIONING ARTWORK
Commissioning a painting offers collectors the chance to create a personalized, original work of art tailored to their space and aesthetic. Unlike buying an existing artwork, a commission painting will be custom-made according to your preferences for size, colors and theme.
At Laasya Art, we regularly coordinate commissions with leading artists, guiding clients through every step from concept to completion. The commission process involves discussing your vision, refining the concept together, reviewing sketches and mockups, and finally having the artist create your painting. Working with an art advisor makes this journey smoother—our years of experience help us translate your vision to the artist while honoring each artist’s unique style and strengths.
RECENT COMMISSIONS
COMMISSIONED ARTWORK BY SEEMA KOHLI
Hyderabad, India
After going through a difficult personal time, this client sought a commission by artist Seema Kohli with the painting’s theme centered “on rebirth, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes,” to reflect her experience of strength and resilience. Inspired by the client’s story, Seema chose to depict Gajalakshmi, who emerged from the churning of the oceans of milk. Lakshmi, holding the Saptrashmi (the rainbow), represents hope and bestows the power to ascend to higher levels of consciousness. After the painting was finished, we added a thick gold frame to highlight the rich color palette.
COMMISSIONED ARTWORK BY SUMANTO CHOWDHURY
California, USA
After falling in love with a painting by artist Sumanto Chowdhury in Architectural Digest India, the clients had their hearts set on his work. They were drawn to the dreamy quality of Sumanto’s vibrant world, which evokes a simpler time. While we looked at the reference image that had caught the clients’ attention, we enhanced the surreal vibe of the scene by adding significantly more elements of miniature design and warmer hues. The result is a very sweet villagescape that exudes the innocent magic of life.
COMMISSIONED ARTWORK BY BHARTI PRAJAPATI
Massachusetts, USA
The clients had a very minimalistic home and were drawn to a similarly sophisticated painting by artist Bharti Prajapati. However, they required a larger size canvas in order to make an impact on the double height walls of their entryway and stairwell. To add visual depth on an increased scale, while maintaining an understated color palette, Bharti added design elements like sand dunes, earthen pots and goats in various shades of cream and grey.
COMMISSIONED ARTWORK BY ANURADHA THAKUR
Vermont, USA
Having already decided on artist Anuradha Thakur, the clients were most drawn to scenes with women dancing in a circle, in the Garba style. We went with a vertical format for the canvas, as the wall intended for the painting was narrow, and selected a color palette to echo the home’s existing decor. Anuradha incorporated a specific dark blue to connect to the “Seaworthy” paint used in the room, as well as a saturated “rani” pink to offset it. The clients loved the painting and said that it enlivened the home.

TESTIMONIALS
I fell in love with Anuradha Thakur’s paintings when I saw them at Sonia’s gallery but was looking for a particular size to fit above my mantel, which was not available at the time. Imagine my surprise and pleasure when I found that the artist was open to commissioned paintings! My husband and I suggested one style that we liked and the size and left it to the artist to paint her magic. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. The painting has received raves.

It was truly a five star experience. The collection is impressive! Sonia was fantastic in asking me questions to understand my taste in art and showed me artists that might interest me. With her help, I selected three pieces all of which she helped frame and hang through her contact. The whole experience was pleasant and I recommend the gallery strongly to anyone who is looking for small or large artworks that are unique.

We had a wonderful experience working with Sonia at Laasya Art. She worked with me extensively to get to know my taste, colors, what makes me happy and what kind of art resonates with me before selling any of the art. After buying a few pieces, I commissioned a large painting. I told her what I was looking for and she worked with the artist very closely, sent her pictures of where the painting was going to be, how much light was in that area, what colors I wanted to see in that painting, etc. It was truly a wonderful experience!
