Work directly with Shadia to create a one-of-a-kind abstract painting tailored to your space, color palette, and vision.
Create Art That's Uniquely Yours
Every commissioned painting begins with a conversation. Whether you're drawn to specific colors, inspired by natural forms, or seeking a statement piece for your home or office, we'll collaborate to bring your vision to life. Shadia's commissioned works are collected by private clients, interior designers, and corporate spaces across the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Each piece is an original work of art, created specifically for you and signed with a certificate of authenticity.

FAQs
How long does the commission process take?
From initial consultation to delivery, most commissions take 4-8 weeks depending on size and complexity. During busy seasons (October-December), timeline may extend to 8-10 weeks. Rush commissions (2-3 weeks) are occasionally available for an additional fee—inquire for availability.

- Trade discount for design professionals
(inquire for details)
- Direct communication for project coordination - Flexible timelines for construction schedules
- Digital mock-ups in your client's space
- Multiple commission management for large projects
Contact info@shadiasabagh.com or trade program details.
Can I see the painting before final payment?
Absolutely. You'll receive high-resolution photos of your completed painting for approval before the final payment is processed. While minor adjustments can be discussed, commissioned works are collaborative from the start to ensure alignment with your vision.
Can you match specific colors or an inspiration image?
Yes! Many clients bring inspiration photos, fabric swatches, or paint chips to
match their existing decor. While I don't replicate images exactly (each piece
is an original interpretation), I can absolutely work within your color palette
and draw inspiration from specific aesthetics or moods you love.What's included in the commission price?
Your commission includes:
- One-of-a-kind original painting on professional-grade canvas
- Signed certificate of authenticity
- Progress photos during creation
- Professional packaging and shipping (domestic US)
- Hanging hardware pre-installed
- Care instructions
- 30-minute video consultation
- Email support throughout the process
International shipping available at additional cost.What if I'm not happy with the final piece?
This rarely happens because of our collaborative process with progress updates.
However, if the final piece doesn't resonate with you during the approval phase, we'll discuss options including minor adjustments or, in rare cases, creating a new piece.
Your satisfaction is important, and we'll work together to find a solution.
Note: 50% deposit is non-refundable as work has begun.
Can I commission a piece similar to a sold work?
Yes, with the understanding that each piece is unique.
I can create a new work inspired by a sold painting's color palette, style, or general composition, but it will never be an exact replica.
This ensures every commissioned painting remains truly one-of-a-kind while honoring your connection to a specific aesthetic.
