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.

I remember drawing with color pencils on any paper I could find as a child. Since then, I believe I was probably on a journey which my subconscious mind and innocent steps never understood. Than I grew up to be a teenager who used to be different and realized the necessary for space and time or freedom at a young age.
When I decided to enroll myself in many of the prestigious art schools I came face to face with humility as its an impossibility for a high school drop-out. But my optimism with help from people managed to complete a diploma course in art along with a one year hard course in nude study from two different private art schools in Calcutta. Its been the hard way for me which I thoroughly enjoyed with all the new discovery and the perspectives of life within and beyond, which accompanies it. I also experienced certain philosophies and tested challenging behavior, attitudes and personalities just to learn and understand its positive sides all for myself.
Perhaps its because of my extremity that I always encountered conflicts within myself whenever I paint . It was total madness and painful. I wonder if the pain of growing up, the anxiety, the emotions on discovering truth and the hunger that a youngster goes through is reflected on my canvas. But than I yearn for a soul on my canvas, something which I knew EXIST THERE but never appeared so far. Maybe the journey never ends.
