Original Artwork Painting, Oil

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.

Работая над этой картиной, я старался передать ощущение Пустоты, из
которого постепенно начинает проявляться весь наш мир. И сначала
присутствует только свет. Затем из пространства проявляются различные
объекты: дома, трава, очертания облаков... И все вещи почти иллюзорны,
они созданы светом и сплетены из лучей света. А река - это энергия,
которая течет в жилах вселенной. И реалистическая манера как нельзя
лучше подошла для такого символического сюжета и в целом абстрактных
понятий, как Пустота, рождение и иллюзорность существования мира.

While working on this painting, I tried to convey a sense of
emptiness, from which gradually our whole world starts to emerge.
There is only light in the beginning. Then different objects start to
shape in the space: houses, grass, clouds' outlines ... All the
objects are almost illusory, they are created with light and are
enweaved of light rays. And the river - is the energy that flows
through the veins
of the universe. The realistic approach is the best to reflect such a
symbolic subject, as well as the Emptiness, birth and illusiveness of
the existing world, - the notions that are abstract in their essence.

Andrey Soldatenko

Russia

Member of Artists Union of Russia, Member of International Association of Art. Included in the bibliographic catalog "Artists of Saratov and Saratov region" (published by decision of the Academic Council of the Saratov State Art Museum named after Radishchev). Andrey Soldatenko was born 27 July, 1975. Andrey graduated Saratov Art College named after Bogolubov in 1995. Studying design at the College Andrey was more interested in painting, especially landscape painting. Every summer, he used to travel to picturesque places on the River Volga for artistic inspiration. The studies painted during those trips found their way into local art exhibitions. The first exhibition was organized by a group of young artists in the autumn of 1993. Its success was very inspiring and after that exhibitions became regular. Around the same time Andrey’s personal exhibitions took place where his paintings and drawings were exhibited. In his early works the artist focused more on representing the fleeting emotions connected with observing the different states of nature or town streets. Along with painting, Andrey produces decorative and abstract works.
In the autumn of 1996, in Saratov Exhibition Hall of the Union of Artists a large exhibition of the works of Saratov artists took place where Andrey Soldatenko presented a series of his works. The exhibition was very successful and attracted a lot of public attention. Responses were quite various – from very positive to critical. This exhibition is still remembered in Saratov now, after all these years.
