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.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

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.

Mon parcours créatif emprunte les sentiers de la musique, de l’écriture et de la peinture. Les années passées au conservatoire, mais aussi les cours du soir aux beaux-arts m’ont permis de construire un projet[...]

Ma recherche artistique, tend vers la réunion du simple et du complexe, de ce qui fait l’Homme unique et universel, l’harmonie en est l’axiome. Pour représenter mon intention, j'explore deux genres picturaux, l’abstraction et le portrait. Ils sont les supports d’un sentiment général ou d’une émotion plus particulière. Ces deux expressions ont toujours été présentes dans mon parcours, aujourd’hui, ils tendent à se rassembler, même si au gré des histoires à raconter, l’une sera privilégiée. Les tonalités des œuvres répondent à ce cheminement, les couleurs flashy ou les teintes sombres des portraits, renforcent mon intention. L’évolution de ma production semble s’orienter vers la combinaison de toutes ces réflexions.
Mes influences sont à l’instar de mon travail dans des courants picturaux parallèles, ainsi, pour l’abstraction, Miro et Kandinsky, et pour les portraits, Modigliani, Buffef.

My artistic path follows the paths of music, writing and painting. The years spent at the conservatory, but also the evening classes at the fine arts allowed me to build a parallel project to the more traditional one of a professional career.

My artistic search tends towards the meeting of the simple and complex, of what makes man unique and universal, harmony is its axiom. To represent my intention, I explore two pictorial genres, abstraction and portraiture.They are the supports of a general feeling or a particular emotion. These two expressions have always been present in my journey, today, they tend to gather, even if according to the stories to tell, one will be privileged. The tones of the works respond to this journey, the flashy colors or the dark hues of the portraits reinforce my intention.The evolution of my production seems to be moving towards the combination of all these reflections.My influences are like my work in parallel pictorial currents, thus, for abstraction, Miro and Kandinsky, and for portraits, Modigliani, Buffef.
