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.

Agata Buczek

Poland

Born in 1988, she graduated in architecture, but painting has been her greatest passion since childhood, and with time it has also become a way of life. The artist has been gaining more and more popularity for years by cooperating with galleries, taking part in competitions and exhibitions. Her works are also in many private collections.

The artist creates in several styles that can be classified in a generally accepted way, such as surrealism, impressionism or abstraction. However, the works in its version differ from the classic ones and reflect its unique and unrepeatable style.

The first style is surrealism. The proportions and laws of physics are disturbed in it. We often move underwater or into the world straight from macro photography. This unreal place is a specific metaphor of the human mind, connecting consciousness with the subconscious.
The second characteristic style is modern impressionism. There, the artist uses strong colors, thickly applied paint and the play of light to transfer the viewer to another world.
Another trend characteristic of Agata Buczek’s paintings are abstractions. Her output includes such paintings made with many techniques and styles. These are both oil and acrylic paints as well as various types of media. Despite such a diverse approach, we can still notice common features for this artist.

All of the above styles share common features that can be called a unique style unparalleled by any other artist. In a unique world filled with symbolism and emotions, we can immerse ourselves and find something in our inner world, that we have forgotten in our busy lives.
