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.

"Drôle de bête"
Toile peinte à l aquarelle avec collages

Elle représente, perché sur une branche, un 'mi-gorille/mi-oiseau'

Selon l angle de vue nous voyons soit le gorille soit l oiseau au niveau du visage, l œil de l oiseau étant en même temps le milieu du crâne du gorille, de son oreille droite sort le bec de l oiseau, et les poils se transforment en plumage jusqu à obtenir un oiseau 'arc en ciel'
il se tient debout sur une branche délicatement sur ses fines pattes.

C est l opposition entre la force du gorille et la légèreté d un oiseau que j ai voulu montrer, tout comme nous avons tous en nous une part de force et de faiblesse, j aurais pu l appeler 'force et faiblesse' ...d ailleurs.

Le Yang étant d ordinaire de couleur blanc ou souvent rouge représente le masculin, le soleil, la force... et le Yin souvent noir ou bleu représente le féminin, la lune le sombre

Sur ma composition j ai volontairement inversé les couleurs c est à dire que la part masculine, forte (le Yang) évoquée par le gorille aurait dû être de couleur rouge et l oiseau (le Yin) de couleur noire.

Là les couleurs étant interverties, nous avons la force suggérée par la couleur de l oiseau qui lui est fragile, et la légèreté gracile de l oiseau qui est représentée par la force du noir ...contraire...ambivalence...équivoque

la pensée orientale veut que nous pensions plus volontiers la dualité sous forme de complémentarité ce que j ai voulu clairement représenter et également surprendre par quelque chose que l on n'attend pas

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.

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

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.

Bienvenue dans mon Univers

De formation Architecte d'intérieur, décoratrice, designer, j ai depuis très tôt eu un goût prononcé pour la couleur, les formes, les matières et l'harmonie en général.

Je vous propose
***** 1 galerie de mes créations décoratives inédites et originales, essentiellement élaborées à base de collages sur différents supports (avec pierres, galets, sable, végétaux, bois, papiers , peinture sur : miroirs, bois, carton, céramique ...)

Vous disposez ainsi d un objet inédit, unique, et personnalisable selon vos souhaits et attentes.

***** 1 galerie de mes peintures sur toiles, ardoises, bois et papiers
Mon univers coloré et gai oscille entre le symbolique, l'abstrait et parfois le figuratif, le naïf...

Mes peintres préférés sont : Klimt, Kandinski, Matisse, Dali, Botéro, Picasso, Gauguin, Modigliani, Léger...

***** 1 galerie de mes bijoux fantaisie
En perles de verre, bois, acrylique, sur métal argent, bronze, or, des bracelets, colliers, boucles d'oreilles, bagues, marque-pages ....

***** Passionnée par les pierres naturelles en lien avec nos chakras (énergies) je vous propose quelques bijoux de mes collections dont vous pourrez retrouver l'ensemble de mes créations en Lithothérapie sur mon site eProshopping

J ai la chance de pouvoir créer à mon domicile, dans un petit atelier, ce qui me permet de ne pas être contrainte à des horaires ou jours de création, dans la réalisation ou la composition d une toile, d'un objet décoratif ou d'un bijou

J'expose souvent mes créations en boutiques éphémères, sur des marchés de créateurs, dans des restaurants... et organise également des petites "réunions-expos" en mon domicile

N'hésitez pas à me laisser un message si vous avez une question, une demande ....

A bientôt
