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.

Categories Abstract

The creative process involved the distillation of decorative visual elements into a synergistic optical blend. A combination of natural elements with geometric shapes focused upon producing a harmonic merger within the visualization. The intended viewer reaction is to encourage a positive mental shift on emotional and rational levels. Soothing floral colors and flowing organic forms are restructured is an exploratory way. At the beginning there was a general idea. The geometry was to be scaled to the the floral image in a complimentary way producing interesting optical qualities. The final steps in the process included the application of digital filters. This was done to give the finished artwork a visual quality that is subtle and pleasing to the eye. The end result of the process is a contemporary decorative image that harmonizes natural and technological elements into a unified composition.

I think it's possible that beauty can save the world. Art can be life as life can be art. Both can be beautiful if given a chance.My imagery is built around a concept. After a central idea is established I explore possibilities within a set of creative and aesthetic parameters. From my perspective visual art is idea, expression, experience and process fused to create a perceptual synergy.
Nature has always played an important role in my art. In the late seventies and early eighties it was the focal point of several commissioned installations in Seattle and Chicago. During the next two decades or so landscape painting and drawing were my primary areas of interest. The work was exhibited in minor venues in Washington and Hawaii.
It was in 2005 when I bought my first computer and digital camera. The initial attraction was the speed that imagery could be produced. It was exciting to work at the speed of idea where the time span between concept and image was short. What followed has been a nonstop process of photography and editing. Presented here is an assortment of images that are a visual record of that activity.
