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 PORTUGUESE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ARE SO COUNTLESS THAT I WILL HAVE TO DEDICATE AN ENTIRE ALBUM TO IT.

UNFORTUNATELY TO US, THE AFRICANS, WE HAVE BEEN THE MAJOR VICTIMS FROM THE PORTUGUESE LACK OF SENSE AND HUMANITY.

ON THIS DRAWING I REPRESENT THEIR BRUTAL AND CRIMINOUS ACTIONS AGAINST THE GUINEAN-BISSAU, ANGOLAN AND MOZAMBICAN YOUTH DURING THE COLONIAL WAR.

TO PREVENT AFRICAN CITIZENS FROM JOINING THE FREEDOM AND LIBERATION FIGHTERS THEY WOULD SIMPLY CUT THE HEADS OF THE YOUNG BOYS, SHOWCASING THEIR HEADLESS BODIES AND HEADS TO THE ENTIRE VILLAGE IN A FAILED ATTEMPT TO FRIGHTEN AND PREVENT THEIR BRAVERY ACTIONS.

THIS HORRIFIC SCENARIO HAPPENED NOT MORE THAN 42 YEARS AGO AND WE, THE AFRICANS NEVER HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS OUR HATRED AND COMPLAINTS AGAINST THESE CRIMES.

I DESIRE TO KEEP IN THE MEMORIES OF US ALL A HINT, A VERY THINY HISTORICAL AND RECENT CRIME COMMITED BY THE PORTUGUESE WITH THE FULL SUPPORT OF THEIR NATO ALLIES, ENGLAND, FRANCE AND THE US, AGAINST THE INNOCENT IN GUINEAN-BISSAU, ANGOLA AND MOZAMBIQUE.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
