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.

"Take the Long Way Home" is the fourth single and sixth track of Supertramp's 1979 album Breakfast in America. It was the last song written for the album, being penned during the nine-month recording cycle.[1] According to its composer Roger Hodgson, the song deals with how the desire to go home can go both ways:

I'm talking about not wanting to go home to the wife, take the long way home to the wife because she treats you like part of the furniture, but there's a deeper level to the song, too. I really believe we all want to find our home, find that place in us where we feel at home, and to me, home is in the heart and that is really, when we are in touch with our heart and we're living our life from our heart, then we do feel like we found our home."

As you can see in this work, Ruben´s style is marked by pure tonalities, well-marked strokes, it is intense, alive, full of energy. Self-taught painter, he is attentive to his intuition and strongly convinced that the best is yet to come. His inspiration might come from a sign that appeared whilst completing an Ironman, or from a logo found in a magazine that he read on a flight.

Further information for lovers and investors:
Ruben always paints on high density engineered wood of the highest available quality and he uses acrylic paint, often combined with enamel.
His signature can appear at the front at request, but will always signed at the back of every work where he includes a double-card certificate of authenticity.
Receive this work ready to hang as he installs several hooks in the bag of all his paintings.
Ruben always gives especial attention when packaging his artworks, so it does not become damaged during delivery and arrives efficiently in mint condition.
First, he uses a layer of bubble wrap to have a cushion from bumps and bruises and to prevent unwanted movement during travel. That layer is surrounded by a piece of corrugated cardboard as a protective shield and shock absorber for the sides and corners. Finally, the package is wrapped in plastic sheeting to prevent the entrance of dust or humidity.
