Commissioning the Extraordinary

For centuries, artists have helped define the identity of remarkable places.

From private collections and boutique hotels to restaurants, workplaces and cultural institutions, original works of art have shaped not only how places look, but how they are remembered.

Yet, once a commission is complete, the relationship often ends.

The artwork is installed.

The project is photographed.

Everyone moves on.

At STYLL Studio, we believe that’s a missed opportunity.

We believe a commission can do far more than fill a wall or complete an interior. The most memorable places are rarely remembered for everything they contain. They’re remembered for the one thing you couldn’t stop thinking about. The artwork that captured the spirit of a destination. The portrait that introduced you to its people. The image that stayed with you long after you left.

Most importantly, that story can continue long after the original commission is complete.

That thinking sits at the heart of STYLL Studio.

Working with our carefully curated roster of contemporary artists, we develop original commissions that respond to people, places and ideas. Some challenge an artist to explore entirely new territory. Others are created specifically for a hotel, a private residence, a restaurant, workplace or public space. Every project begins with a conversation, but no two commissions are ever the same.

Our role is not simply to introduce an artist.

It is to find the right artist for the story waiting to be told.

Because the most memorable commissions are never interchangeable. They belong to the places, people and moments that inspired them.

What Could Your Art Commission Become?

Every remarkable place has a story waiting to be told.

The question isn’t simply which artist?

It’s what story should the artwork tell?

Perhaps it’s a photographic narrative that captures the spirit of a destination. A portrait series celebrating the people who give a place its character. A bold graphic statement that becomes synonymous with a brand. Or a body of work inspired by the sea, the landscape, the architecture or the culture that surrounds it.

Our role is to find the right artist for that story.

For destinations rich in atmosphere and memory, Juliana Vasquez creates dreamlike photographic narratives that blur the boundary between reality and imagination. Alongside her, Sasha Nathwani’s cinematic eye transforms fleeting moments into evocative visual stories that invite viewers to imagine what happened before—and what might happen next.

For projects shaped by the natural world, Zoë Lower’s extraordinary double exposures, created during freedives on a single breath, and Manta Paul’s intimate exploration of marine environments offer compelling opportunities to create commissions that inspire wonder while encouraging a deeper connection with our oceans.

Where people are at the heart of a place, Ray Burmiston’s portraiture celebrates humour, personality and human connection with warmth and authenticity, creating works that feel timeless rather than staged.

For clients seeking a striking visual identity, Damian Rimmer’s bold graphic compositions combine colour, symbolism and contemporary culture to create iconic works with immediate impact.

Diego Tirigall’s neo-expressionist paintings offer something altogether different. Rich in symbolism, layered motifs and expressive mark-making, his work can respond to the history, culture or identity of a place, creating powerful visual narratives that reward repeated viewing and become lasting points of conversation.

And for organisations looking towards the future, Richard Journo’s digitally constructed works explore technology, identity and contemporary life, opening entirely new possibilities for brands, cultural institutions and innovation-led businesses.

These are not templates.

They are possibilities.

Every commission is developed collaboratively, shaped by the artist’s practice and the character of the place itself.

The result is work that could never simply be bought.

Because it could never exist anywhere else.

What Happens After an Art Commission?

Most commissions have a beginning and an end.

The brief is written.

The artist creates the work.

The installation is unveiled.

The photographs are taken.

And the story quietly comes to a close.

At STYLL Studio, we believe that is where a different story can begin.

Selected commissions continue their journey as carefully curated, limited STYLL Editions.

Not as souvenirs.

Not as merchandise.

And never as reproductions created simply to generate sales.

Instead, they become museum-quality editions that allow collectors to own an authentic part of the original commission, carrying forward its story with the artist’s approval and full provenance.

Something remarkable happens when art leaves the walls of the place it was created for.

A guest who fell in love with a photograph during their stay can continue living with it at home.

A visitor who connected with an exhibition can become a collector.

A workplace commission can inspire conversations long after someone has left the building.

The relationship no longer ends when the visit is over.

It continues.

For artists, this creates opportunities for ambitious work to reach new audiences while remaining true to the original commission.

For collectors, it offers the chance to acquire artworks with a genuine connection to a place, a story and the people who brought it to life.

For the commissioning partner, it creates something far more enduring than a single installation.

It creates a cultural legacy.

The artwork becomes part of the identity of a place, not only for those who experience it there, but for those who choose to live with it long afterwards.

We don’t believe remarkable commissions should exist only in one location.

Sometimes, the most meaningful stories are the ones people choose to take home with them.

Who Commissions Art Through STYLL Studio?

Some projects begin with an architect looking for an artist whose work responds to a building.

Others begin with a hotel seeking to capture the spirit of a destination through something its guests will never forget.

Sometimes it’s a developer creating homes with a genuine sense of identity. A restaurant commissioning work that becomes inseparable from the dining experience. A brand choosing culture over convention to tell its story in a more meaningful way.

Increasingly, it’s private clients who understand that the most memorable homes are shaped not only by beautiful materials and thoughtful design, but by original ideas.

Whatever the project, every commission begins with the same question.

What story should this place tell?

Let’s Create Something That Couldn’t Exist Anywhere Else

Every remarkable place begins as an idea.

So does every extraordinary commission.

Whether you’re creating a hotel, designing a workplace, developing a residential project, opening a restaurant or shaping the identity of a brand, STYLL Studio brings together exceptional artists and ambitious ideas to create work with lasting meaning.

The best commissions don’t simply decorate a space.

They become part of its identity.

If you have a place, a story or simply the beginning of an idea, we’d love to explore where it could lead.

Because the most extraordinary commissions always begin with a conversation.
