COMMISSIONED ARTWORK
Commissioning a painting allows collectors to receive a personally crafted, one-of-a-kind artwork created exclusively to their vision. Unlike purchasing an existing piece, a commissioned work gives you full creative freedom from size and style to colour palette, subject inspiration and finishing details.
At Meri Katha, we collaborate directly with highly skilled Indian artisans and traditional masters to bring your concept to life. From early sketches to the final detailing, our team guides you through every step, ensuring the artwork reflects your story while preserving the authenticity of India's cultural heritage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is an art commission?
An art commission is a custom painting created by an artist at the client's request and tailored to their specifications regarding size, color and theme. Compared to purchasing a completed artwork, commissioning a painting offers clients the opportunity to own a personalized piece that perfectly aligns with their taste and fits seamlessly into their home.
Is a commissioned painting right for me?
Commissioned artworks are particularly suited for clients with a clear vision and specific requirements for size, colors and theme. Sometimes, clients fall in love with a painting that has already sold and wish to commission a similar composition with small adaptations. Other times, they are drawn to a specific artist and want a painting customized to the exact dimensions and color scheme of their space. Commissions are also ideal for large-scale canvases or non-standard sizes that artists typically do not produce.
What are the steps involved in commissioning art?
Commissioning art involves close collaboration between the client, gallerist, and artist. Typically, the process includes the following:
- Ideation
- Customization
- Finalization of concept
- Sketches and mockups
- Approval of sketches
- Production of the painting
- Delivery
