Custom art

I love working with people whose stories I can truly understand. My aim is to transform the complexity of who you are into art that sparks creativity and broadens perspective.
Every project is unique, so there’s no one-size-fits-all solution or price list. Instead, I consider the complexity, size, materials, and the creative vision you want to bring to life, while always keeping your budget in mind.

If you have an idea or a budget, let’s chat about how to make your space feel personal and help you create a workspace that helps you focus.

Frequently asked questions

Is every artwork original?

Absolutely!
Every piece I make is completely original—no templates or repeats here. I have a handful of one-of-a-kind, ready-made artworks available if you’re looking for something special right away.
But most of my work is by commission. If you have an idea in mind, let’s chat! I love collaborating and turning your stories into something uniquely yours.

What is text-based art?

I specialize in creating conceptual text-based art. My process is all about using visual language words, letters, and writing become expressive elements, woven into the abstract composition.
Think of it as visual riddles, where your own thoughts and stories become part of the artwork. Each piece is conceptual, deeply personal, and designed to inspire—something you can read, feel, or simply experience visually. You bring the pieces, and together we create an art puzzle that’s truly yours.

What if I don't like blue?

Then we won’t use blue. Color is an important part of my work, and for a custom piece, we can choose a palette that works for you, your space, and the feeling you want the artwork to create.
My color palette is intentional. Each color was chosen based on research into color perception and the purpose behind my work. Blue has a particular role in my visual language, but for a custom piece, we can discuss a palette that feels right for you and your space.



Do you create artwork for offices and workspaces only?

My goal is to create art that truly reflects you as a complex and unique individual. I want my work to help turn your office or workspace into a place that inspires focus and creativity. If you have any other ideas, I’d love to hear about them. Let’s talk and work together to create something that fits you perfectly.

Can I commission a custom artwork?

Yes, I make original, handmade text-based artworks by commission. We can design your piece around a word, story, idea, color palette, size, or to fit a particular space, such as an office, workspace, or private room.
If you’d like to talk about a commission, please email me at art@marypavlova.com.

How much does your artwork cost?

Original commissioned artworks start at $1000, but the final price really depends on the size, complexity, and details of your piece. Because each project is one-of-a-kind, I don’t use a fixed price list. Instead, I look at things like materials, scale, and the creative vision you want to bring to life.
If you have an idea or a budget in mind, let’s talk! And make your workspace perfect for you.

How much does shipping cost for original artwork?

Shipping costs vary based on where you live, the artwork's size and weight, and how it will be shipped. If you are close by, you might be able to pick up your artwork in person. Just let me know your location, and I can give you a shipping estimate.

Do you ship original artwork internationally?

Yes. I’m based in California and can ship original artwork internationally. Shipping costs depend on where you are, the artwork's size and weight, and any special shipping needs. Please let me know your location and which piece you’re interested in, and I’ll send you a shipping estimate.
