Digital Tombstones: An Overview
WHAT IS A DIGITAL FINANCIAL TOMBSTONE?With 15 years of experience across private markets and contemporary art, we combine market insight with digital artistry to produce the first digital financial tombstones. Artistic interpretation sits at the core of every piece, so each tombstone is completely original, not a generic template.
We work with a curated network of talented independent artists, alongside our core team of five, each bringing their own signature style so your tombstone can reflect your strategy, portfolio and show off your brand’s personality, while marking a meaningful milestone.
As a studio, we are committed to delivering excellence and take pride in offering truly bespoke artwork with a premium level of service. By working with a small number of clients at any one time, we ensure focused attention and a tailored approach to every project.
Because your private equity fund is differentiated, the tombstone that marks it should be too.

EXAMPLES FOR ARA PARTNERSAra Partners
Private Equity Fund III Dec 2023
Ara’s first financial tombstone was designed to reflect their brand and commitment to scaling new process technologies that decarbonise industry across key industrial sub sectors.
We translated this into a visual language of scale and progression, using upward motion, and layered platforms to mirror both their growth and the purpose of their strategy to reverse the impact of highly polluted areas of the industrial economy.
Ara Partners
Infrastructure Fund I May 2025
Ara’s second financial tombstone, following a rebrand, reflects their mission to decarbonise industry through real world solutions.
Built around three core platforms, the artwork explores the evolution of energy systems across clean energy, transport, and circular fuels.
These platforms are expressed as progressive forms with a continuous momentum, representing tangible impact in capital raised and emissions reduced towards a lighter footprint on the world.

Our mission is to cultivate digital artistry within the finance sector, creating differentiation for modern brands and sustainable opportunities for freelance creatives.
