Original Artwork Painting, Oil on Canvas

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.

Description:
Inspired by the beautiful lyrics of Tobymac’s song, Holding On.
Hold on to the one who is holding on to you, keep looking to the light breaking through the clouds and the hope that comes with the dawn of each new day.

About the artist’s work:
The words of this beautiful song struck the right chord with Rina by echoing truth, passion and hope. They encouraged her to look up, to see the sun breaking through and to stay true, to hold on.

The artist behind the business of art

Ritzi. A brand that is becoming synonymous with outstanding, unique, and exclusive modern abstract art for both personal and corporate spaces. And, like most successful entrepreneurial businesses, Ritzi has a personality behind it.
Rina is that personality. The brains and the passion behind Ritzi. Growing up in Kroonstad, in the Free State, Rina was always creative, from simple drawings to fashion, candles, and make-up. Painting was a medium she didn’t get into though, and her creative passion was put on hold for a number of years. After studying, Rina became an accountant. Yes! An accountant! Not a common career choice for a creative soul but it appealed to Rina’s organised mind, her enjoyment of working with people and a love for numbers. Still, Rina says:
I was deeply frustrated. I worked for 25 years in the corporate world as an accountant, and there was very little time to satisfy the need to be creative. Eventually, at the age of 45 (yes I know, the famous midlife crisis!), I realised that I could no longer suppress the urge to create. I started attending art classes and was so excited each day that I couldn’t sleep. A whole new world opened up for me.
Now, though, that artistic talent, passion and creativity has blended seamlessly with the structured business mind of the accountant to allow Rina to develop Ritzi. Her artwork is personal, emotional, distinctive, evocative and unique but it is driven by the need to create something for a client where they have input into the process.
The enjoyment that Rina gets from collaboration with clients has also driven her to provide a sustainable income platform and stable infrastructure for other creatives, in order to make original art. The business provides artwork for sale or rent in a variety of venues from high-end homes to corporate headquarters and any space in between.
Rina is an adventurous soul and her love of the outdoors, snorkeling, sky diving, zip lining and quad biking provide her with inspiration, energy and motivation. The light and movement in the sea water; the colours and textures of the earth; the skidding summer clouds on a bright blue African sky; and the vibrant reds and pinks of a sunset will find their way onto canvas or glass in some form or another to provide the warmth and passion a space needs to make it personal.
