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

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.

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.

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.

Pictorial art is my passion and reason for being. Between figuration (studied at the St-Luc Institute in Tournai with Messrs Salembier and Roland) and abstraction (studied at the St-Luc Institute in Brussels with Madame Wery and Monsieur Carlier) my heart balance since always... I sometimes try to combine the 2 categories into 'abstract landscapes', to avoid this dilemma.

My figurative painting in oil on canvas uses glazes and thin translucent layers because at the start of my secondary studies, I studied at the Technical Institute of Mouscron decoration painting (with learning in particular fake wood and glazed marble). I particularly like blue (the color of my eyes); blue green and orange red. I paint my landscapes (when possible) from life with the final touches in the studio or from photos. My favorite subjects are Geneva, Venice and the Alps, but I also like to create paintings on poppy fields and the North Sea.

My abstract painting is mainly "surface-support" on large formats (in monochrome or close to monochrome) made in mixed technique (with the opposition of white spirit and water) and painted with a roller.

I was born in Mouscron in 1959, in Belgium
