Independent Art Studio

Original art belongs in real homes, not just collectors' vaults.

Pata Art Design makes and sells hand-painted originals at prices people can actually afford — miniature paintings, acrylic animal and zodiac works, abstract colour studies, and a handful of handmade home pieces.

What we believe

Art for the wall above your sofa, not the bank vault

Mass prints are fine, but they're the same print in ten thousand homes. Original paintings carry something that a reproduction can't. The actual marks of a hand, the texture of paint applied and reconsidered, a small piece of somebody's attention. That shouldn't cost a mortgage.

At Pata Art Design we focus on work that fits real rooms and real budgets: miniatures small enough to cluster above a desk, vivid zodiac animals that hold a wall on their own, soft abstracts that change with the light. Every piece leaves this studio as a one-off — sold once, to one person, hung somewhere it can breathe.

What we make

Three ways into the studio

Each category has its own character — choose the one that fits your wall.

Miniature Paintings

Tiny canvases, close attention

Hand-painted originals on 3×3 and 4×4 inch panels. Botanicals, tiny landscapes, still lifes rendered with fine brush detail. Each one takes a full day or more and ships framed in a small maple float frame.

Animal & Zodiac Art

Chinese zodiac animals in acrylic

The twelve Chinese zodiac animals painted in bold acrylic — each on a 10×10 or 12×12 inch canvas. Strong outlines, deep colour fields, gold-leaf detail. A rat, an ox, a dragon: they work individually or collected together.

Abstract & Modern

Colour studies and abstract works

Larger canvases, 12×16 to 18×24 inches. Layered acrylics, palette-knife textures, and the occasional mixed-media piece with ink or tissue paper. These are for walls that need presence, not pattern.

"The right painting doesn't match your sofa. It changes the room."

Beyond paintings

Handmade pieces for your home

Alongside the paintings you'll find a small number of handmade objects: painted tote bags with zodiac motifs, ceramic-print coasters, and a few hand-decorated storage boxes. They come from the same studio (same palette, same care) and make good companions to the wall work.

Availability changes as pieces sell and new ones are finished. Check the collections page for what's currently in stock, or reach out if you're looking for something specific.
