This piece of art that conveys the values of our company has been realized by myself, Yvonne Sirali, in Kenya for Jochen Baumeister from Berlin (Germany). It started with the idea from Jochen Baumeister. This page shows our journey from the idea to the final custom made item and the price of the item.
We would like to have a piece of art that conveys the values and mission of Urban Change Lab. We would like to see an artistic exploration and interpretation. We would like an artist who takes his or her artistic freedom.

Negotiation phase

Hi Jochen, I'm happy to provide an offer for your idea.
Attached is a sketch of the idea, I might have an artisan inside the map of Africa and the *happy client part inside a globe. My execution of the idea might change on the canvas during the creating process but the concept will pretty much remain the same on UCL's mission. I'm planning to incorporate the use of color in abstract form and a bit of spontaneous realism (as the attached sample)
Your suggestion to incorporate abstract form and a bit of spontaneous realism I find super. The style of your earlier work I find very good. I understand your concept, it is comprehensible. It would be nice if you could incorporate the emotional component of our approach in the concrete execution. The viewer may be quiet something challenged in the interpretation.
I am flexible about the size, 20' (50cm) by 30' (70cm) would fit. I would already have a place for it. With the big one, however, upright.
Many greetings
Jochen

Hello Jochen,
Thank you for your response.
Yes I will definitely have the emotional approach to it in mind during the process.
Agreed size 50cm by 70cm. If I may ask, depending on the available place/space you have for it do I work on it in portrait form or landscape?
Excited for the project:)
I am curious about the next steps. But you can't see the 30% on the photo yet 😉
Many greetings
Jochen

Hello Serali, thank you very much for the pictures. It looks like you are deviating from your initial design or will the elements mentioned there still be incorporated? What I liked was that the initial design visualizes what we are doing. Many greetings Jochen

Hello Jochen.
Sorry for late reply.
Yes the elements mentioned will still be incorporated.
The piece will look completely different from how it looks during the process when finished.
I am really impressed by your presentation. The embrace of the artwork, the energy between artist and client. It feels very fitting! Thank you so much for your work.
