Your story or idea deserves a one-of-a-kind original.
I create unique, original paintings based on your ideas, memories, and personality. Hand-painted and developed together with you.

From the initial idea to the finished original, your artwork will be created in close collaboration with me.
Personal ideas. Different styles. A truly one-of-a-kind piece.
Every commissioned work begins with a personal idea, memory, or story. This gives rise to a uniquely crafted work of art whose style, motif, and impact are deliberately tailored to the person behind it.
From detailed, realistic works to expressive or abstract compositions, the result is a collection of one-of-a-kind pieces.
Portraying a person without ever having met them
The work was created as a personal birthday and anniversary gift within a tight timeframe. Using digital visualizations, I developed the concept in advance and translated the subject’s personality, life experiences, and memories into a unique portrait.
A painting that could only have been created for this room
I was asked to create an abstract piece for the new home—one that conveys personality without depicting anything specific. The client deliberately gave me a great deal of freedom so that I could create something unique that wouldn’t feel generic and would fit perfectly into this home.
A character who didn't exist before
The client felt a strong connection to an existing series but wanted a work that told its own story. This led to the creation of an entirely new figure in which personal traits, experiences, and symbolism merge to form a character all its own.
Two companies. One shared vision.
As an anniversary gift, a work was created that explores connection, shifts in perspective, and different points of view. The three-dimensional “Reverspective” illusion changes depending on the viewer’s vantage point, making this very concept visible.
A charitable project that wasn't just a donation
For the “Light into Darkness” Gala, I didn’t want to simply contribute just any picture to the auction; instead, I wanted to create a work that tells a story of its own. The meticulously crafted piece became one of the most eye-catching exhibits of the evening and fetched one of the highest auction prices.
When a Brand Becomes a Work of Art
For a corporate event, the goal was to create a work that would highlight the brand while also functioning as a standalone piece of art. From three initial designs, a vibrantly colored composition emerged, featuring a calm, almost meditative center.
How We Work Together
Every commissioned piece is different. A work of art is something very special and unique. That’s why I’ll show you some initial sketches and ideas during our free consultation.
Getting to Know You
Please answer a few short questions about yourself, your ideas, and the artwork you'd like. This will help me prepare for our conversation as best as possible.
Consultation
I'll get to know you during a one-on-one conversation. We'll talk about your ideas and decide together what the artwork should look like.
Customized Approach
During our conversation, I'll develop an initial creative direction and use simple sketches to show you how your desired image can be brought to life (completely free of charge, of course).
Here's how your unique work of art is created
It will take you less than 2 hours in total!
Exhibitions & International Presence
Art that doesn't just happen in the studio.
My work has already been shown at exhibitions, art fairs, and international projects in various cities.
This evolution is part of my work as an artist and, at the same time, an important part of the story that continues to unfold with each piece.
About Daniel J. Maier
Daniel Josef Maier is an artist who creates custom artwork for private collectors and companies. His creative process doesn’t begin with a random motif, but with the person themselves—their story, their memories, their ideas, and the details that make them unique.
This first gives rise to an idea, then a sketch, and finally a work of art that visibly transforms the space: an empty wall takes on meaning, a personal story becomes a motif, and an idea evolves into something that makes people stop and take notice.
From realistic and detailed works to expressive, abstract, or combined visual styles, the result is one-of-a-kind pieces that not only complement the space but, above all, resonate with the person behind them.
