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.

The Self & the Masks 30 X 20 cm, fluid-art technique on wood. -Most people wear so many masks that they eventually forget who they really are.

Antonio Bagia, a contemporary Romanian artist, extends an invitation to the viewer to embark on an extraordinary odyssey into the uncharted territories of the cosmos. His works serve as portals to unknown solar systems, distant planets, and unexplored realms, all emanating from the vivid landscapes of his imaginative mind and finding form on the canvas.

The narrative spun by Bagia unfolds as a space journey, drawing inspiration from the realms of science fiction as envisioned by luminaries like Asimov and C. Sagan. His art weaves a tapestry of an imaginary universe, where celestial bodies and cosmic wonders dance across the canvas, inviting the observer to take a step into the unknown.

The technique employed by Bagia is a harmonious fusion of different styles of landscaping, seamlessly integrating modern techniques that infuse his works with a sense of wonder. As viewers engage with his pieces, they are transported into realms where the boundaries of reality and imagination blur, allowing for a truly immersive and awe-inspiring experience.

In a parallel exploration of the abstract, Bagia ventures into the recesses of the viewer's mind. His abstract pieces are dynamic explosions of colors, characterized by rapid bursts and intricate layers that evoke a sense of intense "fight" and energy. Amidst the apparent chaos, there is an underlying order—a reflection of the cosmic order inherent in the vastness of the Universe. This time, however, the journey is not across the cosmos but into the intricate landscapes of the viewer's own mind.
