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.

In my drawings I picture an urban environment, the variety of which inspires me.
A city is saturated with many contrasting elements, which characterize its peculiarity.
I like to find and fix a chosen environment fragment on a paper, assigning a meaning for a specific place or region. The target is to highlight a significant and to conceal non-essential.
I could compare my drawings with entries in a diary from any trips abroad. It is interesting to observe a daily rhythm of a city.
The most important mean of expression in my drawings is a line.
The uniqueness of the line can be compared to the human handwriting, which for everyone is personal. I like a linear purity. During the drawing process it is very exciting to be a chief of the borders to things, which I wish to include in a composition.
As an instrument for the drawing I have chosen an ink roller ball pen.
Within the research of a city I try to visit central victory and historical monuments, which show the human efforts to make the things eternal. However in such objects there is encoded a pride of a nation, in my drawings I choose to picture simple and ordinary landscapes of an urban environment.
