The Story Behind the Art: Meet the Maker of Paul Marshall

Welcome to Elysian Bespoke, where art isn’t just something you hang on your walls; it’s an experience, a story, and a reflection of the beauty and desirability that defines our work. Our mission goes beyond simply providing artwork – we want you to fall in love with every piece, ensuring that each artwork enhances your home and brings joy for years to come.

The Heart of Elysian

At Elysian Bespoke, we’re passionate about quality and craftsmanship, offering a range of handmade artwork that’s as unique as our customers. The name Elysian is inspired by an old English word meaning beauty, desirability – sentiments that resonate deeply with everything we do. It reflects our unwavering commitment to creating bespoke pieces that transform spaces and evoke emotions.

When you choose Elysian, you’re not just buying art; you’re embarking on a journey of collaboration with us and our talented artists. We work closely with you to ensure that each piece is tailor-made to your specifications, blending timeless artistry with modern flair. Whether it’s a specific moulding, a frame style, or a unique colour palette, we’re here to make your vision a reality.

The Mastermind Behind Elysian Bespoke: Paul Marshall

Elysian Bespoke is a proud brand under the umbrella of Marshall Arts, a family-owned business with a rich history in producing exceptional artwork since 1977. Founded by Peter and Christine Marshall, the business is now led by their son, Paul Marshall, who has been immersed in the art world for over 30 years. It’s a legacy built on passion, quality, and innovation – values that Paul holds close to his heart as he continues the work his parents started.

The Design Genius: Mark Biss

Working alongside Paul is the brilliant Mark Biss, our "Design Guru." Mark has spent over 20 years in the art world and has a unique ability to foresee trends and create visionary products. With his rare talent for blending modern design with classic aesthetics, Mark ensures that every piece is not just on-trend but timeless. Together, Paul and Mark form a creative duo dedicated to pushing the boundaries of art while staying true to the traditions that have defined Marshall Arts for decades.

Crafting Art with Passion

At Elysian Bespoke, we believe that the devil is in the detail. That’s why we go to great lengths to ensure that every element of our products meets our high, exacting standards. From sourcing our mouldings and frames from family-owned businesses in Italy, particularly in Tuscany, Venice, and Bologna, to hand-picking our artists, every decision is made with the utmost care and attention.

We don’t just focus on the aesthetic; we consider the feel, the presentation, and the quality of the materials we use. Our team stress tests the hangers to ensure they’re secure and safe for your walls, and we even examine the way light and shadow will play on the artwork once it’s displayed. These subtle details can make all the difference in how the finished piece looks and feels in your home.

Creating Timeless Art

Our artists, who are based both in Europe and the United States, share our philosophy of creating bespoke, custom art pieces. With their wide-ranging skills and expertise, we’re able to offer a broad spectrum of artistic styles, from modern and contemporary to classic, all tailored to current home interior trends. Whether you’re looking for a bold, statement piece or something more understated, we have the perfect art to suit your space and taste.

The result? Stunning, memorable pieces that stand the test of time, carefully crafted to reflect your personal style and the beauty of your home. When you choose Elysian Bespoke, you’re not just investing in artwork – you’re investing in a piece of history, an enduring treasure that will enrich your life for years to come.
