Original Artwork Painting, Acrylic

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.

Maurizio Aprea

Italy

Maurizio Aprea was born in Formia in 1950. Graduated in architecture in Rome in 1977, he practiced his profession in southern Lazio and in Rome, devoting himself to architecture and urban planning. However, his passion for art has never stopped at the boundaries of his profession. Painting and sculpture, which he practices intermittently, have always been a space for personal expression for him, alongside his professional activity.

Since his beginnings, Maurizio Aprea has always considered art as a form of intimate dialogue with himself, a way to express and share his emotions and dreams, beyond words. This artistic quest began long before his university studies, evolving over the years in a fluid way, passing from the first timid sketches of childhood to more assertive and structured works.

His first solo exhibition took place in Genzano di Roma in March 2002, marking the beginning of a series of presentations in various prestigious venues. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Italy, including in Formia, Rome and Gaeta, as well as in Lisbon and Luxembourg. Among his many notable exhibitions, we can mention those at the Torretta Valadier in Rome, the Capitolium Prize in 2003, and participation in the A. De Santis Study Center in Maranola di Formia in 2005.

In 2006, Aprea distinguished himself by participating in important events such as "A Thousand Artists in Palazzo" in Milan and the V Edition of Artetra at Palazzo Doria Pamphili. His works, both in painting and sculpture, have been exhibited in various international contexts, testifying to his commitment and artistic vision.

Today, Maurizio Aprea continues to explore the depths of his art, enriching his creative universe with constant reflections on matter, form and expression. His work, although evolving and often marked by personal events, remains faithful to his quest for beauty and meaning, offering the viewer an invitation to contemplate and feel the world through his unique gaze.
