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.

Here in this painting I am recollecting all my feelings during the transition period of the winter and spring. In winter when the nature is very dull and shivering out of cold, leaves are falling down, the prince Vasant (the spring season) is waiting to take birth. So at the end of winter a massive transformation is happening in the nature. When the news of the birth of new born Vasant spreads all over the nature, she starts preparing herself as a princess to welcome her lover Vasant. So she is smearing flowers, a maiden is playing drum, a swan was passing by and got astonished, the cuckoo is creating harmony by chirping, the peacock is also surprised by all the happenings, the Palash flowers and mastered flowers have started blooming in the field. The nature is dancing keeping the old behind and transforming towards the new.

In Indian aesthetics Painting, Music, Dance and Theatre have a co-relation of its expression and in that ‘Raga’, a unique composition of music (there are several Ragas, Raginis and Ragaputras), is a common subject matter. In painting it is called as ‘Ragamala’ paintings. It is based on different season and different time. I personally like the Raga ‘Vasant’; it means ‘The Spring Season’.
