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.

Cette peinture qui mélange peinture et bombe acrylique à d'autres gels de texture est une prise de position philosophique face à la violence psychologique. Les carrés et rectangles symboles de la cage et de l'emprisonnement témoignent de l'emprise que peuvent avoir les émotions négatives sur nous. Emotions que l'on peut choisir de combattre par l'énergie positive et par la distanciation ici symbolisée par les deux carrés découpés en pointillés, qui peuvent donc se détacher.
le carré résume le symbolisme du nombre quatre, l’ordre de l’Univers et la nécessaire opposition des contraires. Il est symbole d’unité, d’intégralité et d’équilibre des quatre fonctions psychiques : pensée, sensation, intuition, sentiment. «Le carré est une figure anti-dynamique, ancrée sur quatre côtés. Il symbolise l’arrêt, ou l’instant prélevé. Le carré implique une idée de stagnation, de solidification ; voire de stabilisation dans la perfection.» (Jean Chevalier – Alain Gheerbrant)
This painting which mixes acrylic and spray paint together with mixed medium gels is a pholosophical stance faced with psychological violence. Squares and rectangles symbol of emprisonment show the hold negative emotions have on us. We can choose to fight against those emotions thanks to positive energy and detachment symbolyzed herr by the two square cut out in dotted lines which can be thus cut out.

Brought up in an artistic environment with a father busy painting, sculpting and playing the saxophone and an absent mother , i quickly locked up myself in an imaginary world. Hindered by my father's natural talents, I started expressing my emotions through writing. It soon became a way of existing and of catching my father's attention. Even though I have never given up writing since i wrote songs for artists , I felt the urge of overcoming the limits of words to express my emotions and to come to grips with the complex mechanism of the subconscious. Painting suddenly appeared as a natural extension of my thoughts. I started painting when i was 20 but at that time I was blocked since I felt I was encroaching on my father's turf, so i kept on throwing away every work i painted. And much later , an artist Friend came to my place and saw one of my painting. Her surprise , her sheer enthusiasm made me think I was entitled to consider myself a painter.
Painting has become so far a healing process aiming at reconciling the present and the past that's why my paintings always oscillate between balance and desequilibrium, agitation and calm, nightmares and dreams. My work is a voyage throughout the meanders of the subconscious brought into light in various forms: through symbols , texture, colors .
The choice of palette knive is deeply significant in my work since the instrument and is as sharp as the wounds i have been struggling to heal. I often use thick layers of paint and scrape the canvas as if digging for something. May i add that i always paint with the songs i love and that i can listen to obssessively and i let myself get carried away. So each painting is associated to a song which echoes something in me.
In my youth I was deeply impressed by shagall's work . His outstanding combination of naiveness and surrealism literally transported me , i could spend hours lingering on one painting and at that time I could sense the power of creation. I will quote one sentence he wrote in 1958 'I chose painting , it was as vital to me as food was. It seemed to be like an open window through which i would fly to another world'
And this is what painting is for me , a travel through another world, a hidden one that i'm striving to dig out.
Of course Shagall is not the only painter i'm indebted to, Dali, Miro, Modigliani, and Matisse have also inhabited my universe.
