Art That Begins with You
Inspire a one-of-a-kind work of art—created through dialogue and made to belong in your world. Limited spots available.
At daeuArt, every commissioned piece begins with a conversation. It’s a chance to understand what matters to you—your values, your experiences, and the atmosphere you want to invite in. The artist listens for what resonates, for what feels alive and true. When something in that exchange sparks inspiration, the work begins—guided by intuition, shaped by vision, and made to belong within your world.
Daeu Angert is a Serbian-American artist whose journey in the visual arts began at the age of 12 when she first picked up a paintbrush in her hometown of Belgrade, Serbia. Since then, she has honed her craft, developing her own distinctive fingerpainting technique, visual language, and narrative style. Daeu has exhibited her art in New York City, where her work has been well received for its deep storytelling and symbolic elements. Her artwork transcends traditional boundaries, delving into the intersection of art and thought leadership. She is celebrated for her ability to capture complex ideas on canvas, sparking conversations and inspiring contemplation.
In addition to her artistic practice, Daeu hosts the I Paint Ideas podcast, where she gives her art a voice by sharing the ideas and inspiration behind each piece, offering listeners a deeper connection to the stories she tells through her artwork.
Daeu is also the driving force behind daeuArt Gallery and the founder of the daeuArt Foundation Inc., both of which reflect her dedication to expanding the boundaries of artistic expression and fostering a vibrant community for innovation in the arts.

The Process
FAQs
How do I submit my application?
Simply click “Apply Now” and complete the short form. It’s not about providing specifications—it’s about sharing who you are, what matters to you, and the atmosphere you wish to create. If your story resonates, you’ll be invited to a conversation with the artist.
What happens after I submit my application?
We review each submission with care. If there’s a sense of creative alignment, you’ll be contacted for an interview. This conversation allows Daeu to listen and determine whether a new work is ready to emerge through your story and presence.
Do I get to choose the colors, subject, or style?
No—this is not a directive process. You won’t be selecting visual elements. The artwork is entirely guided by the artist’s vision, intuition, and established visual language. Daeu’s process is rooted in abstraction and symbolism, developed through years of disciplined practice. She brings a heightened sensitivity to emotional and spatial cues, allowing her to perceive meaning in the nuances of your story and environment. While you won’t direct the creative choices, your presence, values, and space play a vital role in shaping the conditions for the work to emerge—one that is both personal to you and true to the artist’s voice.
How long does it take for my painting to be done?
On average, it takes anywhere between 4-6 months from the first meeting to the time the painting can be safely shipped due to varying drying time.
Will my artwork be framed?

However, we’re happy to recommend framing options or connect you with trusted partners to ensure the piece is presented beautifully in your environment.
