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.

Alex Solodov

Portugal

Alex Solodov is a visual artist based in Portugal. He was born in Moscow, Russia in 1971. Alex began to paint and draw at the age of 13. During his studies at Stroganov University of Arts in Moscow, he was mainly focused on abstract, surreal and expressionistic style of painting and drawings. At the same time he became inspired by Indonesian Batik dyeing technique, and created lots of artwork in this style, using silk fabric as canvas.

At the moment Alex mostly paints expressionistic pop art portraits in sumi-e ink wash and water-colour painting techniques, many of his works inspired by Japan and Portuguese culture. He also enjoys to travel throughout Portugal and Madeira island and to paint expressionistic landscapes, townscapes and ocean paintings.

More than 200 of Alex's artwork has been featured in private, corporate collections and galleries around the world including United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Lithuania, USA, Austria, France, Denmark, Russia and Brazil.

'Mr. Solodov's work typifies the Russian artistic strengths of solid classical training combined with the creativity of Western painters. The colors, texture, complexity, and originality of his figures are what we seek from art.'
