Private Commissions
Bespoke artwork for considerate spaces.
Ilana McBain accepts a limited number of private commissions for collectors, interior designers, architects and selected commercial projects.
Each commission is developed in Ilana’s own visual language — bold colour, organic form, movement and character — while responding to the scale, atmosphere and needs of the space.
The aim is not to reproduce an existing artwork, but to create something that belongs naturally within the environment it was made for.
For Collectors
Private commissions are available for clients looking for a work created specifically for their home or collection.
The process begins with a conversation about the space, scale, palette and the feeling you want the work to bring into the room.
Ilana retains creative direction throughout the process so the final work remains recognisably hers.
For Interior Designers & Architects
Ilana works with interior designers, architects and creative professionals on residential, hospitality and selected commercial projects.
Commissions can be developed around:
- architectural scale
- spatial proportions
- colour relationships
- placement and sightlines
- the atmosphere of the interior
- project timelines
Trade enquiries are welcome for projects requiring artwork with a strong individual presence rather than generic decorative art.
How the Commission Process Works
1. Initial Enquiry
Send details of the project, including photographs or plans of the space, approximate dimensions and any relevant design information.
2. Creative Direction
Ilana develops the artistic direction for the commission, considering scale, composition, colour and the character of the space.
3. Proposal
A written proposal is provided outlining the agreed size, scope, timeline and price.
4. Creation
Once approved and the commission deposit is received, the artwork enters the studio process.
5. Completion & Delivery
Final imagery is provided before delivery or collection is arranged.
A Note on Existing Works
Ilana’s existing studio originals are not offered for sale.
Private commissions are created separately as bespoke projects and are accepted selectively according to suitability, scale and studio availability.
