Darya Studio · London

Artist Programme

A small, curated representation for artists whose practice is rooted in considered craft — calligraphy, painting, photography, sculpture and mixed media.

This is an invitation to conversation, not a marketplace. We work closely with a limited number of artists at a time so the studio can give each practice the attention it deserves.

Our vision

Darya Studio exists to champion artists whose work feels singular, considered and unhurried. We believe in long conversations, careful placement and a body of work that grows with the artist over years rather than seasons.

What we look for

  • A distinctive voice

    A practice with a clear point of view — work that could not have been made by anyone else.

  • Craft and intention

    Technical care, considered materials, and a sense of why each work exists.

  • A body of work in motion

    Artists actively developing — we are not a one-off platform.

  • A spirit of collaboration

    We work closely with our artists. Generosity, honesty and curiosity matter.

Opportunities available

  • Corporate commissions

    Private and public-facing work for hotels, restaurants, offices and developers across the UK and Europe.

  • Hospitality projects

    Site-specific calligraphy, painting and mixed-media installations placed with care across hospitality spaces.

  • Exhibitions & viewings

    Curated group exhibitions, private viewings and editorial collaborations throughout the year.

Artist support

  • Curated representation

    A small roster means real attention — editorial, sales and placement led by the studio.

  • Commission management

    We handle the brief, contracts, client conversations and logistics so you can stay in the studio.

  • Considered placement

    Your work introduced to collectors, designers and developers whose values align with the practice.

  • A long view

    We invest in artists over years. The aim is a body of work that compounds, not transactions.

Apply to the programme

We read every application personally.

The application takes around five minutes and asks about your practice, opportunities you are interested in, and a small portfolio of recent work. We respond within ten to fourteen working days.
