Maritime Art & Commissions

Immortalising Fleets. Creating Assets. Building Legacy.

From Canvas to Commerce

A commission is not just decoration. It is a versatile corporate asset included with full commercial rights.

Retail Merchandise

Generate revenue with high-margin prints, postcards, and crew-exclusive editions for onboard shops.

Brand Heritage

Distinguish your annual reports and marketing materials with signature fleet imagery.

VIP Gifting

Create exclusive limited-edition prints for key partners, stakeholders, and retiring captains.

The Limitation of the Lens

Photography documents the reality of operations: the flat light, the harbour clutter, and the inevitable wear of the hull.

An oil painting allows us to curate that reality. We control the atmosphere, perfect the setting, and present the vessel exactly as it should be seen.

"A digital file is forgotten. An oil painting is inherited. It brings a physical gravity to the boardroom that photography cannot replicate."

The Executive Commission
