Commissions
Your personal story in an original artwork
A painting by artist Malene Georgsen – created around the people you love.
My style – your choices
Your artwork is painted in my unique, iconic style from my Sky Stories works. But you decide the colours of the clouds, and you decide how many swans there will be and how large they are.
That way, you tell your own story through an original artwork you can have in your home.
Your story, told in the sky
Every family has a story. In a commissioned painting, I tell yours with swans in a soft, atmospheric sky – one swan for each person in your family.
Two swans for the two of you. A family with little ones gliding close. A new baby. Someone you miss. You choose the number of swans and the meaning behind them. Only you need to know the whole story – the painting holds it quietly, every day.
Made for your home, with your story
Your painting is made by hand on a canvas built to fit your wall exactly – also unusual sizes.
In a fast-paced life, real art is the antidote. It brings feeling into a room and gives your home personality. That is why many choose a commission as the most personal gift there is: for a wedding, for new parents or for a milestone birthday.
How it works
1. Tell me your story
Who is in your family, which room the painting will hang in, and the mood you dream of. Feel free to send a photo of the wall.
2. We shape it together
The number of swans, the colours of the sky and the size.
3. I paint your artwork
The work comes to life in my studio, and you get photos along the way. Delivery time is typically 3–4 months.
4. It comes home to you
Within Europe, your painting is delivered to your door by professional fine art movers. Outside Europe, it is shipped rolled in a sturdy tube, ready for you to have it stretched and framed by a local framer.

Questions I often get
How do I pay?
You pay a 50% deposit when you order and the remaining 50% when the artwork is finished.
Is shipping included?
Yes, shipping is included – both within and outside Europe.
Can I choose the colours?
Yes. We choose the colours of the sky together based on your room. I paint intuitively, so you are commissioning a mood rather than a copy of a particular image.
Can I get something similar to one of your earlier works?
I don't make copies. But if you have fallen for a particular work, we can use it as a starting point for something new in the same world.
Can I follow along?
Yes. You get photos from the studio while the work is being made, and we talk if anything needs adjusting.
Limited spots
I only paint a few commissions at a time, so every story gets the time it deserves. When all spots are taken, you are welcome to join the waiting list.
