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.

Funny painting of a Scottish hippy sheep called Woolhelmina hitch-hiking on the side of the highway in Spain by Alicante, standing there with her big bag and a guitar.

Truffle McFurry tells the story:
" When I was driving to Benidorm with Mary the other day, we saw a hitch-hiker standing on the side of the highway. Miki had told me not to take any hitch-hiker, but well, Mary insisted so much that I had to stop.

The reason was that the hitch-hiker was... a Scottish sheep! And what a sheep! We took her until Benidorm and she spoke all the way long with Mary in their Scottish jargon, I hardly understood them!

She said her name was Woolhelmina. Yes, WOOLhelmina, not to be confused with Wilhelmina. She was a hippy sheep, and a musician. She had come all the way from Scotland to Spain to buy an authentic Spanish guitar, and she was on her way back now. She wanted to learn flamenco on her new guitar and become a big star.

I heard Mary tell her that she often feels homesick. And I heard Woolhelmina asking Mary:

"Do you want to hitch-hike back to Scotland with me? You could learn dancing flamenco while I play, we would me make a great duo, and would be very successful!"

My heart stopped beating in my breast. I was so scared that Mary says yes and goes. I have grown very fond of her, you know, it would break my heart if she left us.

But after a long silence Mary answered:

"Thank you, Woolhelmina, but no. I have a new family now, I love them so much, and they love me so much. This is much more important than homesickness! And you know, at the end, real home is where the heart is!".

Dear Little Mary!

By the way, you might understand now whom Mary got the idea of an ear piercing from!

So, friends, look out, there will be soon a new music star in the world!

Good luck Woolhelmina! We will never forget you!

Love you all

xx

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.

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.

Miki De Goodaboom is a contemporary French artist. For Miki, painting serves as a reflective canvas, mirroring the perpetual ebb and flow of her existence - a dance between light and shadow, lines and shapes, times and places. In her art, she ceaselessly seeks equilibrium, a delicate balance found only in continuous movement, in the enigmatic realms of the mysterious and the unknown. Her life unfolds as a narrative woven between two profound passions: mathematics and painting. The former, a supreme form of abstract art, governs her universe, dictating the rules of her cosmic journey. The latter emerges as a means of crystallizing the beauty inherent in that mathematical art, capturing its essence on the canvas of her imagination.

Miki De Goodaboom's art transcends geographical boundaries, and her paintings serve as universal expressions that resonate with viewers worldwide. Her unique ability to encapsulate the essence of her passions within her art makes each piece a testament to the intricate tapestry of her life - a life painted with strokes of creativity, mathematical precision, and an unwavering commitment to capturing the profound beauty found in the harmonious interplay of shapes and colors. Her works, a manifestation of her vibrant life, have found eager audiences and appreciative buyers across the world.
