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.

N.B. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE VIDEO OF THE WORK, THIS PORTRAIT IS MADE WITH THE "ALCHEMICAL TEMPORAMA" TECHNIQUE WHICH ALLOWS, THROUGH A CHEMICAL REACTION OF THE PIGMENTS, TO TRANSFORM THE IMAGE PAINTED ON CANVAS CYCLICLY IN FRONT OF THE SPECTATOR'S EYES, WITHOUT USE OF DIGITAL MEANS.

In the Kybalion one of the seven principles of Hermeticism, that of 'Polarity', is described as follows: 'opposites share the same nature in different degrees, extremes touch, all paradoxes can be reconciled'. This painting represents a provocation for the intellect of the average man of this era, in which every form of spirituality has been lost (except the apparent one, dictated by fashion) by virtue of a materialism that trivializes any aspect of existence, imprisoning it in a cage of rationality. The human intellect is today almost totally trapped in dualism, forced to always choose between yes and no (a binary structure, this is also a characteristic of non-living intelligence). And yet this painting shows us how dual nature is actually only apparent, illusory and evanescent. In fact, just as heat and cold are two characteristics of the same entity (temperature) and are measured with the same instrument (the thermometer), good and evil are also two characteristics of the same human nature, and therefore the one can transform into the other: cold can become hot, hate can become love.

N.B. COME SI PUO' VEDERE DAL VIDEO DELL'OPERA, QUESTO RITRATTO E' REALIZZATO CON LA TECNICA DEL "TEMPORAMA ALCHEMICO" CHE PERMETTE ATTRAVERSO UNA REAZIONE CHIMICA DEI PIGMENTI, DI FAR TRASFORMARE L'IMMAGINE DIPINTA SU TELA CICLICAMENTE DAVANTI AGLI OCCHI DELLO SPETTATORE, SENZA UTILIZZO DI MEZZI DIGITALI.

Nel Kybalion uno dei sette principi dell’Ermetismo, quello di ‘Polarità’, è così descritto: ‘gli opposti condividono la stessa natura in gradi diversi, gli etremi si toccano, tutti i paradossi possono essere riconciliati’. Questo dipinto rappresenta una provocazione per l’intelletto dell’uomo medio di quest’epoca, in cui è stata perduta ogni forma di spiritualità (se non quella apparente, dettata dalla moda) in virtù di un materialismo che banalizza qualunque aspetto dell’esistenza, imprigionandola in una gabbia di razionalità. L’intelletto umano è ad oggi quasi totalmente intrappolato nel dualismo, costretto a scegliere sempre tra il sì e il no(struttura binaria, questa, caratteristica anche dell’intelligenza non viva). E tuttavia questo dipinto ci mostra come la natura duale in realtà sia solo apparente, illusoria ed evanescente. Infatti, così come il caldo e il freddo sono due caratteristiche di una stessa entità (la temperatura) e si misurano con lo stesso strumento (il termometro), anche il bene e il male sono due caratteristiche di una stessa natura umana, e dunque l’una può trasformarsi nell’altra: il freddo può diventare caldo, l’odio può diventare amore.

N.B.: LE TEMPISTICHE DI SPEDIZIONE POTREBBERO RICHIEDERE A CAUSA DELLA PARTICOLARE NATURA TECNICA DI QUESTI DIPINTI, TEMPI DI CONSEGNA DA 14 A 30 GIORNI.

Biography
Francesco Filippelli is a Painter and Chemist born in Naples in 1993, of Calabrian origins. From an early age he demonstrated an expressive preference that converged towards the visual arts, which would find its full outlet when at 14 he studied in the workshop of the painter Francesca Strino. At 18 he realized the illusory evanescence of perceived reality, and driven by the desire to free himself from this nihilistic anguish he undertook studies on the material universe, enrolling in the faculty of Chemistry at the Federico II University of Naples. Since 2010 he has participated in various collective exhibitions throughout Italy. In 2018 he held his first solo exhibition at Palazzo Venezia, in Naples.
In 2020 he exhibited at PAN (Palazzo delle Arti in Naples) with a solo exhibition entitled 'I 7 Mari'. His works appear in various contemporary art magazines and in some art catalogs edited by Prof.V.Sgarbi.
Also in 2020, visiting the Sansevero Chapel, observing the portrait of Prince Raimondo di Sangro, he grasps the alchemical secret for the transformation of the paintings, on which he will work for the following three years in order to perfect the technique of the 'Alchemic Temporama' and create the first six portraits in transformation.
Francesco currently combines the profession of Painter with that of teacher of Mathematics and Science, at the IC Darmon institute in Marano (NA). Beyond his obsession with painting, he is passionate about quantum physics, maritime art and tobacco.
