Art really ties the room together.

Adolfo Girala’s work is very three-dimensional and rich.

Like a great rug, a piece of art can really tie a room together. Searching for just the right piece can be a long and arduous process. The solution? Custom commissioned pieces.

Real estate agents, companies, and homeowners alike have caught the custom-art bug, according to the Wall Street Journal, and many others. "Sellers are commissioning specially designed works to set the right tone in high-end listings, and owners and interior designers are hiring artists to create pieces to work with the existing décor.⁠"⠀

If you like supporting local artists in LA personally, we have a few favorites. Check out these wonderful artists: Maud Simmons, Adolfo Girala, Jeffrey Sklan, Joey Feldman. Maud paints everything and anything, really: animal, mineral or vegetable. Her abstract work is very fun. Jeffrey Sklan is a master photographer who concentrates and captures flora like no other. Adolfo Girala (Art Adolfo) creates three-dimensional works that are based on nature in an abstract way, and very rich in color and texture. Joey Feldman has a way with emotion, portraits, and symbolism that is unrivaled in his generation. Click on the images to visit their websites.
