Case Study: Art Commission for Eli's Birthday (2023) 

Vision: To produce a high-quality, customized original fine work of art that reflects the client’s taste and interests vis-à-vis my artistic style and creativity. To accomplish this my goal is to provide start-to-finish white-glove service that is as enjoyable as it is seamless for the client.​

Approach

I developed the following four-phased project plan as a (non-constricting) guide to best enable client input & participation, to facilitate project engagement, and to maintain artistic accountability through a comprehensive creative process. My intention is to have as much or as little client input and participation throughout the process in order to produce a finely-tuned luxury artistic good.

  1. Discovery

    1. Creative consultation to learn about:

      1. the space & environment to which the artwork will be tailored along with

      2. the interests, themes, and aesthetic taste of the client and its parties 

  2. Ideation & Design

    1. Drafting and design of ideas that will be proposed and presented to the client for their input and consideration. Collaborative discussions, feedback, and opinions are encouraged in the development of the art proposal. The goal is to develop and define a finalized design to be commissioned.

  3. Crafting

    1. After a client’s selection of a drafted proposal, the client officially commissions a design to be created and Leo will begin the work.

  4. Presentation

    1. Upon completion of the artwork, the artist will transport, deliver, and install the artwork onsite, followed by a formal presentation of the realized artwork.

Discovery: who? what? where? why? how? 

  1. Listening & learning more about:

    1. the space & environment to which the artwork will be tailored along with

    2. the interests, themes, and aesthetic taste of the client and its parties

Testimonial & beyond

"I hired Leo for a personal art project for my family that was very important to me. I had no idea where to start and I didn’t even fully know what I wanted, but that’s where Leo came in and he helped immensely.

We had multiple brainstorming sessions, he asked incredible questions and as a result, he truly understood what I was aiming for.

He sent me regular updates of the work and was so easy to work with as new ideas emerged during the process. He’s beyond talented and to get a front row seat to watch the way he works was special.

When the project was completed I was blown away and it brought my family to tears. This is a piece that will be in my family forever and I’m so grateful that I met Leo. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an artist."
