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.

"Circo De Los Muertos" - Carousel of Death is my new Day Of The Dead Original Painting. I was inspired by a local carnival and it's merry go round. The Carousel can be a really weird and cool ride! Sometimes you ride on frogs, bees, turtles, and other things that just don't make any sense. The carnival I went to had a number of colored horses in their ride and it inspired me to paint this artwork with a mixed media of techniques.

I just read about "Dead Man's Carnival" in Milwaukee which is also awesome. The mixture of fun and morbid thoughts makes Los Muertos Art so interesting to me as an artist. The sky is the limit to what you can create if you can just free your thoughts and become one with your subconcious mind.

This folk art painting is 24 x 36" with texture and was hand painted on gallery wrapped canvas.
