Original Artwork Drawing, Pastel on Paper

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.

Anastasiya Kimachenko

United States

I was born in Odessa, Ukraine in 1989. In 1997 with my parents I moved to Yerevan, Armenia where I got a Bachelor degree in Art and Design from Yerevan State Academy of Fine Arts. After getting my degree in 2009, I moved to Los Angeles, California for permanent residence, where I continued my art education. Currently I hold an Associate degree in Studio Arts, Art History and BA in Art and Design. I'm an independent artist, professional printmaker and educator.

Although I'm a big fan of contemporary art, I consider myself as an abstract expressionist. I often combine several mediums, such as oil, acrylic, and watercolor. I paint portraits, landscapes, seascapes, villages and city views. I dig my inspiration in late works of German Expressionists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Beckman, Egon Schiele.

I was introduced to the palette knife (which is my preferred painting style) by my husband, who is a ceramic artist and a member of the Society of the Young Artists of Armenia. He inspired me to create some of my best pieces.

As an emerging artist I have sold a number of paintings worldwide since 2014. I established my business "Artist Anastasiya Kimachenko" in 2015 and work with galleries in New York and Hermitage Gallery in Michigan, US.
