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.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Like all those who love Art, my penchant for beauty created in me the need to express myself in one way or another from a very young age by drawing with everything that came to hand. .
As a teenager I drew with a lead pencil but without ever picking up a brush. It wasn’t until I was 30 that I started painting in oils. As an autodidact, I copied from nature, photos or paintings and this is how I arrived, around ten years later, to discover the earth completely by chance!! Touch the material, model it, create in three dimensions. It was a real revelation: the transition from plan to volume produced no problem for me, I would even say that I discovered the technique which adapted most naturally to my needs for expression.
I attended several courses with sculptors to acquire some basics and since then, when circumstances allow me, I take immense pleasure in modeling, without leaving painting and especially drawing human or animal portraits in pastel. I also made forays into watercolor, which is still very difficult for me to master but whose transparency and spontaneity I love.
In parallel with all this, I had the enormous chance to learn and practice for two years in Seville, the reproduction of ceramic panels painted using Arab-Andalusian and Portuguese techniques, in the workshop of one of the greatest Andalusian ceramists.
I also created murals and decorative painting on glass in imitation stained glass.
