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.

Eva Fialka is a contemporary artist based in France. She is known for her distinctive artistry, has carved a niche for herself through her captivating depictions of black cats in abstract settings. Her work is characterized by an expressive gaze, a minimalist color palette, and a unique texture achieved by superimposing multiple layers of paint, creating a patinated effect that adds depth and character to her pieces.

Born in Hungary, Eva Fialka's artistic journey began with a focus on applied arts and decorative painting. During her formative years, she immersed herself in the study of ancient techniques, mastering the intricacies of gilding, working with textures, and exploring various methods such as trompe l'oeil, fake marble, and fake wood. This early foundation in traditional craftsmanship laid the groundwork for her later artistic endeavors.

Having studied decorative painting, Fialka initially found herself engaged in the restoration of old wall paintings and gilding, bringing back to life elements that had lost their original luster. This experience shaped her artistic perspective, influencing her to appreciate the beauty of textures worn and patinated by the passage of time. Reflecting on this transition, Fialka remarked, "Before, I restored old wall paintings and gilding which had lost their shine, today on my canvases, I try to reproduce these textures worn and patinated by time :)"

At the age of 19, Eva Fialka made France her home, where she embarked on a successful career as a graphic designer and fashion stylist. Despite finding fulfillment in these roles, her true passion for painting persisted. In 2014, fueled by a desire to fully dedicate herself to her art, Fialka made the courageous decision to transition into the realm of independent artistry.

Since embracing her calling as a full-time artist, Eva Fialka's work has gained recognition for its unique fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary abstraction. Her paintings, often featuring the enigmatic presence of black cats, offer viewers a glimpse into a world where expressive aesthetics meet a masterful use of texture and color.
