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.

A memento from my childhood. The first time I was ever shown how to make a poppy dolly it changed the way I perceived the world. I was five years old when I was awakened to the fact that everything is possible; if flowers could be turned into dancing figurines then fairies and other mystical folk could really exist even though I couldn't see them. In this painting as the fairies finish bringing the poppy dolly to life you can see the feint highlights of her eyes and mouth starting to appear. I've always been fascinated by the fabric and colour of petals, and having such a large canvas to work on really gave me a chance to play with the depth of colour and explore the fragility of the poppies. This is one of my most colourful and largest artworks to date and I was able to completely immerse myself in this creation. Inspired by the large deep red poppies seen at the Bern Botanical gardens and blue summer skies.
The artwork is tissue paper petals on canvas which gives an extra dimensional effect and these are painted over with oil colour. The sides of the artwork are painted.
The artwork is signed on the bottom side of the artwork and also comes with a certificate of authenticity.
