Welcome to MTLA Studio

Your friendly neighbourhood Art Shop.

Founded in 2020 by best friends and creative partners Joelle Said and Patricia Chiniara, Mtla Studio began as a passion project rooted in a shared love for art. What started as a collaboration between two artists has grown into a vibrant studio that brings art into everyday spaces—whether homes, businesses, or public places.

We create both traditional and digital works, offering a range of permanent art print collections, limited editions, and one-of-a-kind original paintings. Beyond our collections, we provide custom art services tailored to individuals and brands looking for something uniquely theirs.

We want to work with you, so hit us up!

    CO-FOUNDER | ANIMATOR x ILLUSTRATOR

    It all started with Patricia and I creating art together in 2020 during quarantine. We loved creating custom art for people in our close network, and the next thing we knew, we were starting our first business together.

    My background is in Animation, and my obsession is with everything visual arts. You can find me sketching at a café in my free time.

    CO-FOUNDER | ARTIST x M.ARCH

    My love for art started young, as doodles that turned into drawing, painting and digital art.

    After graduating high school with Joelle, we both really put in the effort to improve as artists, and we constantly pushed ourselves to be better in our work. Today, we are partners in this business hoping to create art and spread creativity through our whole city and beyond.
