Stories Behind the Art
Each commissioned piece I create is a collaboration—a journey of shared ideas, emotions, and stories. From intimate family portraits to bold abstract statements, these works are deeply personal and meaningful. Here, I share a few of my favourite commissioned projects and the stories behind them.
If you have a vision for a custom piece, whether it’s a heartfelt tribute, a bold statement, or a timeless addition to your space, share your ideas. Together, we’ll craft a one-of-a-kind artwork that tells your story.
A Tribute to Love and Memory
When Joanna approached me to create an abstract canvas for her new home, I knew this would be more than just a painting—it would be a deeply personal journey.
Our collaboration began with a heartfelt conversation. Joanna shared stories of her Amma, Grace, who had recently passed away.
One story, in particular, stood out: on the day of her Amma’s passing, Joanna returned home to find her fireplace mysteriously lit, a moment she believes was her Amma’s final goodbye.
Moved by her story, I knew the artwork had to hang above that very fireplace. The piece became a tribute to her Amma, infused with the emotions and memories Joanna shared.
Layers of colour and texture came together to create an abstract masterpiece that not only complemented Joanna’s home but also honoured her family’s legacy.
This project was more than just a commission—it was a collaboration of hearts, a celebration of love, and a testament to the power of art to heal and connect.
“Tiziana is more than an artist, she’s a master at her craft. In my home, she created a bespoke piece of artwork that not only drew on the aesthetics of my personal style which is quite definitive but also my personal story & experiences which made for an unique & meaningful piece.
I am in awe of how Tiziana not only used her years of experience in creating art across the globe but also her deep sense of intuition and impeccable style. Her artwork is the hero of my living space and I look at it daily with true satisfaction & admiration.”

A Space Transformed
When Francesca, a client based in Italy, approached me to create a custom artwork for her newly built apartment, I was thrilled to take on the challenge. Her apartment, with its sleek, modern aesthetic and clean architectural lines, required a piece that would complement its minimalist design while adding warmth and personality.
Throughout the construction process, Francesca shared progress photos and videos, allowing me to design the artwork with the space in mind. Our collaboration was a true partnership, with discussions about the evolving architecture, materials, and color palette of the apartment guiding the creative process.
The final piece is a harmonious blend of sophistication and visual impact. Using a refined color scheme that echoes the neutral tones and textures of the interior, the artwork enhances the living space without overpowering it. It serves as a focal point, adding depth and character to the apartment’s elegant simplicity.
One of the most memorable moments of this project was hand-delivering the artwork to Francesca’s home, along with another commissioned piece. The expression on her face is something I’ll never forget—she was overwhelmed with emotion, her eyes lighting up as she took in the artwork. It was a moment of pure joy and connection, a reminder of why I love what I do.
This project was a celebration of modern design and personal expression, resulting in a piece that feels both timeless and uniquely tailored to Francesca’s home
“Working with Tiziana was an incredible experience. She took the time to understand my vision and created a piece that perfectly complements my home. The artwork adds warmth and personality to my modern space, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.”

Love in Layers
When Lauren approached me to create a piece of art that captured the essence of her wedding day, I knew this would be a project filled with love and meaning.
Lauren and I have known each other for over 20 years, and her trust in me to create something so sentimental was a true honour. Together, we brainstormed ideas for a piece that would represent love, family, unity, and the beauty of her special day.
The result is ‘Work of Heart’, a remarkable and one-of-a-kind creation that incorporates delicate details from Lauren’s wedding gown. Each brushstroke tells a story—of the joy of her wedding, the bonds of family, and the timeless beauty of love.
This piece is more than just a painting; it’s a celebration of life’s most precious moments, captured in a way that will be cherished for generations.
“This incredible piece of art, ‘Work of Heart’, is very dear and close to my heart. I approached Tiziana because I admired her talent and flair for style, and I wanted to collaborate on a momentous piece. We came together and brainstormed ideas, and I knew I was leaving it in safe hands to create something so sentimental. The result is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind creation that includes details from my wedding gown, following our wedding in December 2021. It’s everything I hoped for and more.”
