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.

Karin Kráľová, visual artist, was born in Slovakia. She has lived and worked in Paris since 2001.

In 2009, she obtained her Master 2 in Visual Arts and New Media at the University of Paris 8. In 2014, she became a member of the ' 34; Taylor Foundation, one of the largest and oldest French foundations which brings together artists, sculptors and architects.

In 2016, she joined the permanent artists who create and exhibit in the famous institution Parisian at 59 de Rivoli ". It is the third most visited modern art center in Paris.

It first became known through works in which representations of bodies, often tortured, were carried by austere acrylic colors. She has painted the female body since her beginnings. She immersed herself in human pain and drama.

In 2016, a new phase, apparently calmer, more spiritual, of the series " Mandala".

It is based on a universal geometric language which affirms the painting as a fragment of the world of harmony, where the boundaries are dissolved between the visible and the invisible , the mathematical and the artistic, the spiritual and the visual. Karin is also interested in the power of signs and symbols. The arabesques, curved and rhythmic lines have a narrative character. We feel the metaphysical dimension in this series of paintings.

In 2018, she began to develop her painting on the universe, and at the same time, she focused her attention not only on the stars but also on earth. In a series of works entitled " Cosmos ", Karin still continues her cosmic exploration of the stars and the universe. Alongside his series of paintings entitled " Gaia " allows us to rediscover his work with materials and colors on a circular format. This series of paintings is inspired by nature, they tell us about the earth in all that it has to offer.

She uses different techniques and materials: lace, acrylic paints, oil paints. #039;oil, paints for ceramics and stained glass, glue, sand, recycled materials. The resin allows him to play with light and gives these works a particularity and relief.
