Art made by hands,
felt by people.
Above Second connects brands, developers, and hospitality groups with contemporary artists. We bring original paintings, murals, and site-specific installations into spaces that demand a human touch.

Spaces That Feel Real.
The future will be increasingly automated, generated, and optimized. The things we value most will be the things made by human hands. A mural painted over weeks. Plans over months. A canvas carrying years of an artist's practice. A space shaped by a point of view rather than an algorithm.
Born in the high-octane creative landscape of Hong Kong and now relaunched in Miami's Wynwood arts district, Above Second bridges two of the world's most dynamic cultural capitals. For over a decade, we have curated defining public and commercial spaces across Asia. Today, we bring that global pedigree and multidisciplinary network to South Florida, translating striking contemporary art into eccentric brand identities that deeply connect with local and international audiences alike.
As the world becomes more uniform, authentic expression becomes the ultimate luxury. Above Second connects artists, brands, developers, and collectors through meaningful projects that transform spaces. From our Miami studio, we oversee every stage of the process, from concept and curation to production and installation.
Because only through the lens of an artist do we stand in beauty and human connection.

How We Work
Our Services
We build unforgettable brand identities from the ground up, using authentic art and storytelling to create spaces people cannot forget.
Brand Strategy & Creative Direction
Every successful project begins with a clear vision. We work closely with brands, developers, hospitality groups, and private clients to define the creative direction, visual identity, and cultural narrative that will guide the project from concept to completion.
Art Curation & Sourcing
We connect spaces with the right artists, artworks, and creative collaborators. From original works and artist commissions to murals, public art, and site-specific installations, we curate tailored solutions that reflect the character and ambitions of each project.
Production & Installation
We oversee every stage of execution. From artist coordination and project management to fabrication, framing, shipping, logistics, and installation, we ensure every detail is delivered to the highest professional standard.
Video, Social Media & Storytelling
Great projects deserve to be seen. Through photography, video production, social media content, and digital storytelling, we help document the creative process, amplify visibility, and create meaningful connections between brands, artists, and audiences.
Creative Campaigns & Cultural Activation
We create experiences that extend beyond the physical space. Through artist collaborations, public art initiatives, brand partnerships, launch events, creative activations, and ongoing cultural programming, we help brands remain relevant, memorable, and engaged with their communities.

About
Contemporary Art Advisory & Creative Consultancy — Miami
Above Second is a contemporary art advisory and creative consultancy born in Hong Kong and relaunched in Miami.
We work with collectors, hotels, restaurants, developers, interior designers, architects, brands, and private clients to source, commission, and place meaningful contemporary art. Our focus is simple: finding the right artist, the right work, and the right story for each space.
With over a decade of experience across Asia and the U.S., Above Second brings together art advisory, artist sourcing, mural production, custom commissions, residential curation, hospitality art programs, corporate collections, and site-specific creative projects.
We believe art should do more than decorate a space. It should create emotion, identity, and connection. Whether it is one artwork for a home, a mural for a restaurant, or a full art program for a hotel or development, we make the process clear, personal, and enjoyable from concept to installation.
Common Questions
What does an art advisor do?
An art advisor helps clients find, commission, and place artwork that fits their space, budget, taste, and long-term vision. At Above Second, we guide the full process from artist selection and artwork proposals to production, logistics, framing, and installation.
How do I commission an artist?
The process begins with a conversation. You share your space, idea, budget, and timeline. We then recommend artists, develop the concept, manage communication, and oversee the work from proposal to completion.
Do you work with hotels, restaurants, and developers?
Yes. We create art programs for hospitality, real estate, commercial, and brand spaces. This can include lobby artwork, murals, private dining rooms, guest areas, outdoor walls, and site-specific installations.
Can you help with residential art?
Yes. We help private collectors and homeowners find artwork that feels personal and works beautifully within the space. We can source one piece or build a collection over time.
What is a site-specific art project?
A site-specific project is created for a particular space. It responds to the architecture, brand, location, and feeling of the environment. This can be a mural, sculpture, installation, or custom artwork.
How much does art consulting cost?
Fees depend on the scale and complexity of the project. We can work on a project basis, retainer, or commission structure. For inquiries, please email hello@abovesecond.art.
