Damian first encountered Paul James’ Urban Gorilla many years ago. The moment he saw it, the artwork struck a chord. Its symbolism, personality, and deeper meaning resonated with him so strongly that he knew it was a piece he wanted to one day call his own….
That single moment sparked a search that lasted ten years.
No matter where Damian lived, even during his time abroad, Urban Gorilla remained on his mind. He looked for a limited edition whenever he could, but the piece was rare, often impossible to locate, and genuine editions were difficult to authenticate. Still, he never stopped hoping that the right one would surface.
Eventually, that hope led him to The Artizen.
From the first conversation, Andreea understood exactly why this piece meant so much to him. She listened, asked the right questions, and recognised the emotional connection behind the search. With that understanding, she took on the task of finding a genuine limited edition of Urban Gorilla.
The process was detailed and personal. Andreea sourced through trusted channels, liaised with agents and intermediaries, verified provenance, and managed every stage of the journey, from securing the artwork to organising its safe delivery to Damian’s home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Throughout, she kept Damian fully updated, responded promptly to every question, and ensured complete transparency.
The search that had lasted ten years finally came to an end when Urban Gorilla arrived and took its place on Damian’s wall.
”If you are looking for a piece of art to cherish, speak to The Artizen and speak to Andreea.

For Damian, the experience was more than an acquisition. It was a feeling of being understood, supported, and valued.
As official distributors of Paul James, The Artizen provided the reassurance and authenticity he needed, and the customer service exceeded every expectation.
The artwork now gives him enormous pleasure. A piece he waited years to find, finally where it belongs.
Damian describes Andreea’s help as exceptional. Without her persistence, expertise, and personal dedication, he believes the piece would never have become his.
