Commissioned Artfor Commercial Spaces
Original artwork created specifically for businesses, interiors, brands, and special projects.
How it works
To simplify the process and achieve a result that truly represents you, here are the key steps of the creative journey.
Step 1
Start the conversation
Everything starts with a conversation.
Fill out the inquiry form to tell us a little about your project, your space, and what you have in mind.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You may already know where the artwork will go, have an approximate idea of the dimensions, or simply know what you would like the artwork to bring to your space.
Step 2
The Project Meeting
Once your inquiry has been reviewed, we arrange a preparatory meeting to explore the project in greater detail.
We discuss your goals, the space, the potential of the project, the number and scale of the artworks, and the available budget.
This is where an initial idea begins to become a realistic project.
Step 3
Develop the Concept
With a clearer understanding of the project, we begin developing the artistic concept.
Together, we explore the subject, storytelling, visual direction, dimensions, and placement of the artwork or artworks within the space.
Depending on the project, this may involve an on-site visit to study the environment and take measurements. Other projects can be developed remotely using photographs, videos, floor plans, measurements, and other information about the space.
Step 4
Create the Artwork
Once the concept and any necessary sketches have been developed, the artwork enters production.
One or more original artworks are created specifically for your project.
Throughout the process, the client remains part of the conversation. Depending on the nature of the commission, there may be opportunities to review the development and make sure the artwork continues to reflect the direction established together.
Step 5
Delivery & Installation
When the artwork is complete, it is prepared for its new space.
The finished work is delivered and, when included in the project, installed in its final location.
Alex can also participate personally in the installation, helping determine the final placement and relationship between the artwork and the surrounding environment.
The Artist
I am an artist deeply devoted to what I do, yet my work extends far beyond the creation of something beautiful. I believe in pursuing my purpose and serving my collectors with intention, energy, and care.
My mission is to carry this vision into every work I create, shaping balance, tension, and meaning, and giving form to images that hold a quiet strength and evoke a sense of awareness, fulfillment, and identity, always guided by the deepest desires and the unique vision of each individual.

Frequently Asked Questions
A commissioned project typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on its size, complexity, number of artworks, and the development process.
Larger or more complex projects may require additional time. During the initial conversations, we will establish a realistic timeline for your specific project.
Every commissioned project is different. The investment depends on factors such as the concept, size, number of artworks, materials, complexity, and scope of the project.
Rather than providing a generic price, we prefer to understand the project first and determine what is appropriate for what you are trying to accomplish.

Payment terms can vary depending on the project, but commissions are generally structured as 50% to begin the project and 50% upon completion.
The specific payment schedule is discussed and agreed upon before production begins.
This is one of the reasons the concept-development stage is so important.
Before the artwork enters production, we spend time understanding the project, developing the concept, and establishing the artistic direction. Depending on the commission, sketches or other preparatory materials may also be developed.
The goal is to make sure we have a clear understanding of what we are creating before the painting begins.
A commissioned artwork is a collaboration, not a blind purchase.
Your reputation matters. Ours does too.
For us, our name and our reputation are everything. If we accept a commission, our responsibility is to deliver the project professionally, communicate throughout the process, and stand behind the work we create.
A successful commission is about creating a relationship that the client can feel confident recommending to others.
Yes.
Although this service is particularly suited to businesses, commercial spaces, and professional projects, commissioned artwork can also be created for private residences and personal spaces.
The process remains essentially the same: we begin with a conversation and develop the project together.
Yes.
We can work directly with business owners and private clients, as well as with interior designers, architects, hospitality professionals, developers, and other creative professionals.
When an artwork is part of a larger interior or architectural project, we can collaborate with the existing team to make sure the artwork works within the overall vision of the space.
Commissioned artwork can be created for many different environments, including:
Hotels, restaurants, offices, salons, boutiques, retail spaces, private clubs, hospitality environments, corporate spaces, residential interiors, and special projects.
The important question is not what type of business you have. It is what you want the artwork to accomplish within the space.
The majority of projects are created for clients in the United States, but we are open to working internationally.
Depending on the project, meetings, concept development, and much of the planning can be handled remotely. When an on-site visit or installation is important to the project, those requirements can be discussed during the planning stage.
This depends on the scope of the commission.
The project may include concept development, preparatory work, the creation of the artwork, and other services agreed upon as part of the commission.
Installation, transportation, framing, travel, or additional production requirements may vary depending on the project and location.
Everything included in the commission is clearly discussed before production begins, so there are no assumptions about what the project involves.
Purchasing an original artwork does not automatically transfer the artist’s copyright.
The artwork itself and the right to reproduce the artwork are separate matters. Reproduction rights are generally discussed and agreed upon as part of the commission, depending on how the artwork will be used.
If the project involves commercial reproduction, advertising, packaging, publishing, digital media, or other uses beyond displaying the original artwork, those rights can be addressed specifically in the agreement.
Fine Art refers to original artworks created as part of Alex Righetto’s artistic practice and body of work.
Creative Studio work is developed specifically for a client, brand, business, interior, or particular creative project.
The two can overlap, but the purpose is different.
A commissioned project can still be an original work of art. The distinction is primarily about why the work is being created and the context in which it will be used.
Absolutely.
Depending on the project, a high-quality print or other editioned artwork may be a better solution for the space, budget, scale, or intended use.
We can discuss the available options during the initial consultation.
Yes, but with an important distinction.
An existing artwork can serve as a reference or starting point for a new commission. We can discuss what attracted you to the original work and explore how those qualities could be developed into something new for your project.
