Original Artwork Painting, Watercolor

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.

ITA
Una sera, seguendo una conferenza di uno psicoanalista italiano sento una sua frase che dice: cosa vuol dire essere donna? Una domanda alla quale non si può rispondere. Troppo profonda per essere risolta.
La donna come enigma, essere sfuggente.
Ho voluto rappresentare le donne attraverso gli elementi più semplici: l’acqua e il carbonio. Gli stessi materiali di cui è composto in nostro corpo.
Volti, espressioni e sguardi arrivano dai social, in parallelo con la ricerca stessa di ogni donna nell’osservare altri riferimenti femminili nel tentativo di comprendere qualcosa in più di se stessa. Come una raccolta di riferimenti che aiutino a tracciare la propria immagine partendo dalla figura, l’altra.

ENG
One evening, following a lecture by an Italian psychoanalyst I hear this sentence: what it means to be woman?
A question that cannot be answered: too deep to be solved. Women are elusive enigma.
I wanted portrait women through the simplest elements: water and carbon. The same materials of which it is composed in our body.
Faces, expressions and looks come from social media, a long side with the research of every woman in observing other female references in an attempt to understand something more than herself.
Like a collection of references that help to trace the self-image begging from the figure, the other.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
