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.

Ci è dato di pensare che quella parte di noi che chiamiamo Anima, provenga da insondabili abissi del mondo Spirituale.. Un’ allegoria della discesa dell’ Anima dalle sfere celesti al corpo fisico è offerta dalla mitologia gnostica in cui si racconta di SOPHIA (Sapienza), l'ultimo degli Eoni che, non vedendo la Luce del Padre, si dispera fino a produrre i frutti della passione, destinati alla caduta nel mondo della Materia.

“ Dall’eternità sono stata costituita, fin dal principio dagli inizi della terra.
Quando ancora non esistevano gli abissi, io fui generata ”

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Hyperrealism

Painting which expresses, by means of representation, external reality in a very realistic way.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
