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.

If there is a place where surrealism and imagination naturally combine, it is the traffic lights on the pavements of our cities.
This piece is dominated by red circles, a colour which in nature is a signal for warning, alarm or danger. Red (blood is the laughter of Mars) is also a colour used by many animals to scare off their enemies. This colour has the same meaning for humans in the traffic lights of our cities. Less numerous green circles announce their opposition to the red ones. Bright oranges and discreet blues mitigate the background, bringing chromatic balance to the painting.

Se há um lugar onde o surrealismo e a imaginação se conjugam de forma natural é o conjunto de sinais de trânsito das passadeiras das nossasa cidades.
Neste trabalho preponderam os círculos vermelhos, cor que representa, na natureza, sinal de aviso, alarme ou perigo. O vermelho (o sangue é o riso de Marte) é também a cor da qual se servem muitos animais para afugentar os seus inimigos. Tal cor tem o mesmo significado para os humanos nos semáforos das nossas cidades. Circulos verdes menos numerosos anunciam a sua oposição ao vermelho. Amarelos vivos e azuis discretos mitigam o fundo tentando equilibrar o balanço cromático da tela.

Esta tela pode ser adquirida na Galeria da Albuquerque e Lima.
