Original Artwork Painting, Oil on Canvas

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.

"I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain"
(Sympathy for the devil - Mick Jagger / Keith Richards)

La tempête de neige emporte le mystère......Anastasia, grande-duchesse de Russie, a-t-elle été assassinée avec toute la famille de Nicolas II, en juillet 1918? Ou bien a-t-elle survécu à la funeste sentence?

Durant la première moitié du 20e siècle, plusieurs femmes ont revendiqué son identité.

En 2007, des résultats d'analyse ADN ont affirmé la mort d'Anastasia lors de l'assassinat de 1918, sans doute possible. L'analyse ADN est-elle véritablement fiable à 100%?

La tempête de neige emporte le mystère... Et la troïka permet de fuir les mauvais lieux.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

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.

- For those who wish to discover oil painting, I open a workshop during the lunch break, once a week, on the sidelines of school lessons.

When a drawing teacher makes such a proposal and you are already motivated by the artistic thing, there is no hesitation. Christian responded to the opportunity and discovered the smoothness and reactivity of the material, its sensuality too: pleasure. This happened in 1974, at the age of fourteen. And quickly, gouache, pencil or pastels were practically forgotten.

A few years later, a solid technique had already asserted itself, through, most often, work inspired by photographic favorites. Christian will notably have the freedom to produce color paintings, from black and white photos.

His works still lacked a certain essence, that of conceptual elaboration, which will appear in the 1980s and will continue thereafter. This indefinable work, probably invisible, which allows an idea to mature for six months to progress, improve, or even vanish. Christian has an expression for this: 'cinema on canvas', because like the seventh art, he creates a real scenario of his work before using his brushes. There is no doubt that many of these ideas come from her passion for travel, such a passion that she stopped her production for a while. Prize-winning exhibitions have awarded Christian six times.

Christian is a multiple artist, in the sense that he is master of the freedom of his ideas; thus his subjects are diversity. If he is comfortable with his time, he does not lock himself in his fashions. And to extend the notion of multiplicity, he is also a photographer and writer-traveler. Open to the surprise of the future, he will gladly tell you that he is not yet... a sculptor.
