THE ART OF CHOOSING ART

We’ve all had those moments of searching, for what feels like an eternity, for that perfect piece of art to fill a blank wall and to complete your living room, bedroom or an entire home.  There certainly is an art in choosing the right piece of art, it’s a personal choice, dare I say ‘journey’ – and the process can take a while and become somewhat overwhelming.

Spoilt for choice

With so many exquisite artists and artwork available, you are spoilt for choice and options from abstract to fine art, canvas to glass prints to 3d art.  Despite all your options, finding the perfect piece can still be an uphill battle.  You may have been drawn to a number of art pieces but would have preferred a different colour palette, size or orientation. You know the perfect piece will finish your interior space, complement your furnishings and bring it all together with interest, colour, and texture – but this art piece seems almost impossible to find.

An alternative is commissioning an artist.

If you have a clear idea of the style of art that inspires you or an artist that you are drawn to, consider commissioning a custom art piece based on your colours, dimensions, style and design.

Chloe, the artist behind Planinsek Art, paints large flowing abstract paintings with a focus on commission work.  Customising pieces to complement her client’s needs and to create that perfect piece in the right size and colour for their space.  As interior decorators, we have for some time now been inspired and drawn to Chloe’s artwork and impressed with her professionalism when working with clients on commissioned pieces.

Chloe’s natural draw is to the clouds with her cloud paintings being her most popular.  The calmness and the colour palettes has inspired Chloe’s blending of soft tones together.  Chloe feels that an art piece should not look too much like a certain subject, when you look into a piece and should see something different every day. Chloe has also started doing more tailored Giclee prints, which are a beautiful option, offering a high-quality bespoke look to complement her original pieces.

Commissioning art is a creative, inspiring and rewarding experience, but relies on finding the right artist to engage, build a relationship and understanding, to work with and develop ideas.  You need to be committed to the process and trust in your artist’s creative technique.

You will know when you have found the perfect art piece, you will just know.
