Original Artwork Painting, Acrylic / Pastel

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.

I title the style of this art series "Naive science art". The mathematical symbols and formulas will be used as an abstract elements. These art works symbolize the memories about our development path. The central painting -School Blackboard symbolize the object, that connect all of us as a start point of our development. Because even the famous scientist used to learn that 2+2 is 4. The old school blackboard keeps all these memories about the learning path from the simple to complexity. It's also a symbol of the first love and the first difficulties in our lives. With my art works I want to touch the persons to remind about something very personal for us.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Anastasia Vasilyeva was born in 1982 in St.Petersburg (Russia) where she grew up. In 2008 she moved to Switzerland where she's been living since then.

Anastasia Vasilyeva is an artist dedicated to abstract conceptual art. In her works, she combines art with motifs and themes of mathematics as well as computer science. Her work also focuses on current social problems. Inspired by Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollack, Kandinsky, and Gerhard Richter, Anastasia Vasilyeva makes a conceptual contribution to Contemporary Art.

Born in an artist-family (4th generation) she learned the basic painting techniques from her father and continued to further develop them in various painting courses. Anastasia is also very interested in the history of art. The art exhibitions of classical and modern works of art always give her new inputs and inspirations for her work.

Since 2016 Anastasia Vasilyeva has been exhibiting her works in certain art galleries, museums as well as in large IT and insurance companies in the USA, Switzerland, Germany, and Estonia.
