Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

After the time of research as an autodidact, and internships with professionals, I practiced drawing and painting for several years, in 'living workshop' courses. in order to develop my knowledge and skills at the Beaux-arts de Lyon. And then the desire to ' breaking the codes....The touches placed as suggestions have given way to a more marked style. Although the style is figurative, the acrylic technique which has taken the place of oil led me to this more abstract expression..The creation of my characters becomes more colorful, because I am always looking for expression and above all the desire to reflect my intention.. .The portraits are therefore not mirror representations, I am looking for expression, attitude and history. The speed of drying due to the temperature of my island led me to a pictorial gesture to " the snatch", my desire being to express in an immediate time the volatile image emerging from childhood memories mingling with the present...Thriller, Audiard..., real or fictitious characters created on a sentence...A quick sketch , intense colors, like on the island of Reunion where I have been living for almost 3 years, a hint of humor... my stories are meant to be fresh, cheerful, soaring combining past and present I want to make the smile, remember the things we loved....Travel my Universe...room for emotions...I am a creator of stories...
