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.

Il est ici fait référence à la traversée de la ville d'Aoste par les 2 personnages principaux. Les rues parcourues sont celles dont figurent le nom sur le plan.

L'idée même d'une représentation du plan de ville sous forme d'un vitrail est la résultante de 2 autres idées : la structure particulière des rues d'Aoste et le regret exprimé par les 2 personnages du roman de n'avoir pas pu visiter quelques édifices religieux.

A la prise en compte de la structure particulière du plan hippodamien de Agusta Praetoria Salasorum (Aoste,Italie) s'ajoute les harmonies colorées et nuanciers des vitraux de la belle époque.

A noter que le plan ayant été intégralement redessiné à partir de diverses sources tant historiques qu'actuelles, l'interprétation artistique et l'équilibre interne de la réalisation ont primé sur une représentation topographique exacte des rues, places, monuments, sans recherche aucune d'exhaustivité ...
C'est donc tant l'amont que la réalisation de l'oeuvre qui se sont avérés passionnant.

Anecdote : C'est la commande de cette illustration et les différents projets présentés à l'auteur qui ont amené ce dernier à me confier d'autres demandes d'illustrations pour son roman.

On the contrary, he constantly explores new artistic horizons, experimenting with different techniques and mediums to enrich his creative approach.

His artistic approach is deeply rooted in the celebration of life in all its forms. Whether by capturing the birth of light in the heart of shadow, paying homage to the diversity of materials or expressing energy through the gestures of artistic creation, his work aims above all to celebrate beauty and the vitality of life.

Karolus regularly shares his art with the public, whether within artistic associations or through individual exhibitions. He is an active member of the Pastel en Dauphiné Association, where he runs thematic workshops and courses. In addition, he is currently in charge of external communication and maintenance of the association's website (pastelendauphine.com).
