Interior designers, businesses, hotels and individuals have commissioned Oevaali Art Shop to create beautiful art pieces in an array of various mediums. Our Founders & Artists specialize in creating site-specific artwork and welcome the opportunity to work with interior designers and architects, resorts and hotels, individuals and curators to fill your spaces with the colours of Maldives.

It is no doubt that shoppers have become increasingly diversified in their purchasing habits over the past decades, becoming more and more conscious of mass-factory produced 'souvenirs', heralding the introduction of a much more wholesome business model: Artisan Markets. Tried, tested and true, the market concept brings our local artisan shop right to your property for an intimate, authentic, and most importantly, a Maldivian shopping experience for your guests.

"Oevaali Art Shop always manages to capture our vague ideas and bring them into beautiful creations. Over the years they've expanded and ventured into many lines; never straying away from the path so recognisable to both international and local clients. Customer service is an epitome of what Oevaali offers; great vision, execution and follow up services. We are proud to be working alongside Oevaali and have their products not only in Kuredu, Komandoo, Hurawalhi and Kudadoo private residences."
— Ms. Prisma Limbu, Area Retail Manager for Hurawalhi Maldives, Kudadoo Private Island Maldives, Kuredu Resort Maldives & Komandoo Maldives.

"I had the pleasure of working with Raniya and her team during my time at Waldorf Astoria Maldives on a bespoke gift collection. Their determination and strategic approach to managing our brand is impressive, and she is always thinking proactively on our behalf with regards to different messaging and creative direction."
— Ms. Mercy Juanich Guerva, Director of Marketing & Communications at Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi, Maldives

"Raya and Raniya from Oevaali Art Shop participated in Conrad Maldives Rangali Island's first ever Local Artisan's Market in December 2019. The professionalism and creative flair the sisters brought to the Market day was commendable and awe-inspiring. Even though the Market day was a single day event, the resort's many repeater guests were impressed with the Oevaali stall, despite being enacted in a short time frame. Raya and her team were very well-prepared and guests absolutely loved the stall and the wonderful products offered by Oevaali Art Shop. Moreover, Raya and her team are very flexible and have made wonderful suggestions for collaborations for major events at the resort such as planning giveaways for repeater guests/sales partners and gifts for Ithaa Undersea Restaurant's 15th anniversary."
— Ms. Amara Shafeeq, Marketing & Communications at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

"From the get-go, we were impressed by their sheer professionalism, efficiency and approachability. No request was ever too great or too small to handle, and setbacks and challenges faced during the project were swiftly provided with an appropriate solution. Their ability to handle such a complex project unanimously confirmed to us that the Oevaali was a trustworthy and reliable partner."
— Coco Prive Private Island, Maldives


"Raya was quick to come up with exactly the kind of item we had in mind. The books branded with Hotelier Maldives logo arrived on time and proved very popular with all the delegates and we are thinking of producing more of the same... And certainly this is not the last time we will commission Oevaali Art Shop"
— Hotelier Maldives


"The Resin Art you have produced for us is quite remarkable and brilliantly encapsulates the natural beauty of the Maldives, we wanted to present to the Minister of External Affairs for the Government of India, H.E Dr. Subramamyam Jaishankar."
— The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maldives


"Innovative, quality, inspiring are just a few expressions I would use to describe the excellency of the artwork of Raniya. Kuramathi had the idea of providing a Maldivian cultural event during our busy festive period and Raniya knew exactly what we were looking for. Discovering the real avant-garde and trendy artwork of Raniya and her team made the entire venue one of our biggest success stories."
— Mr. Alain Trefois, Cluster Director of Operations at Kuramathi Maldives, Kandolhu Maldives, and Maafushivaru Maldives


"My choice of coconut palms and palm fronds for the painting was my personal interpretation of the serene beauty and culture I have experienced in this country. In Ms. Raya's work, I found a lovely blend of both artistic skill and a story of my love for Maldives. They have become a little bit of Maldives that I will always take with me. I was also very impressed with Ms. Raya's professionalism and customer-oriented service. She invested time to understand what I wanted for the painting and maintained regular communication with me until the final product was delivered within the agreed timeframe."
— Ms. Shoko Noda, Former Un Resident Coordinator And UNDP Resident Representative To Maldives


"I knew I would not want to be parted from this beautiful circular piece of art. The stunning colours of ‘Haven’ made me feel enveloped again in the deepest blues of the ocean I encounter during dives around the Maldives, both warm and mysterious. Having this in my home keeps me close to the ocean and its beauty."
— Mr. Ferdinand Von Habsburg-Lothringen, United Nations Peace & Development Advisor
