Why We Focus on Commissioned and One-of-a-Kind Art

Bespoke Art for Real People, Real Spaces, and Real Stories

At MAIA, we don’t believe in offering art just because it “looks nice,” comes with a big-name signature, or happens to be in our stockroom. We’re not here to sell status or push what’s convenient. We start every project from scratch, because we believe that truly meaningful art should be personal, intentional, and deeply connected to the space and the person who lives in it. That’s what sets MAIA apart.

We take time to understand our clients, their story, their environment, their values, and from there, we commission artworks that reflect that essence. Whether it’s a bold statement piece or a quiet, intimate work, the medium is always chosen with care. Paintings, photography, sculptures, collages, installations, art has so many languages, and we speak them all to find the one that resonates.

The right artwork doesn’t just complete a space, it brings it to life. And not only that, it tells the story of the person it belongs to. It becomes a deeply personal, often vulnerable discovery—one that goes beyond words and into something felt. For us, this is where art brings value.

We also believe that art should be for everyone, not just the elite. That’s why we work with a range of artists, from internationally established names to the most exciting up-and-comers—ensuring top-level quality across different price points. It’s about matching vision with talent, not price tag with prestige.

Each side reveals a new colour and a new story in the client's life.

When a piece is born from this kind of collaboration, everyone wins: the artist creates with purpose, we get to shape something meaningful, and the client walks away with more than an artwork—they gain a lasting connection and a story that lives in their space.

This is why we do what we do.

Client Testimonial

"Working with MAIA was unlike any art experience I’ve had. They didn’t just ask what I liked, they asked who I was, how I live, what kind of energy I want around me. The artwork they created for us feels like a part of our family story. It’s not just beautiful, it’s ours.”
