See thePainting Before It Is Painted

Describe the piece you want, preview it in a painter's own style, agree on it together — then they paint it by hand, on canvas, for you.

Finished works, ready to ship

Originals held by the artist. Shipping and insurance included.

Painters taking commissions

Each one chooses whether their style can be previewed at all.

How a commission runs

Money sits in escrow from approval to delivery.
01 — same day

Brief and preview

You describe the piece. Artiva generates a preview in the style you picked so you are looking at something instead of describing it.

02 — 1 to 3 days

Agreed with the artist

The painter reviews the preview, adjusts what is not paintable, quotes, and either accepts or declines. You pay into escrow.

03 — 3 to 9 weeks

Painted by hand

Photo updates at underpainting, first colour and varnish. The preview stays pinned to the thread as the reference you both agreed on.

04 — 5 to 10 days

Shipped and released

Rolled or stretched, tracked and insured. Escrow releases 72 hours after you confirm the painting arrived intact.
