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.

Watercolour and ink painting of Teddy Bear Jacques sitting in a cute suitcase next to 2 beautiful candle holders in the window of a shop in the little town of Saint Antonin Noble Val in the South of France.
Seen and painted during a painting trip to Albi and surroundings in April 2016.

Truffle McFurry tells the story:
“ Hi everybody!

When you will see the image, you will probably think it's me, Truffle McFurry, sitting in that cute little suitcase. But NO!

When we were in Albi we had a day trip around for my Mom Miki to paint all the beautiful villages around, and in one of them, St-Antonin-Noble-Val, we saw that sad little bear with its price tag in the window of a shop. He looked exactly like me, except that he had got a white tummy.

When he saw me a big smile came upon his face. And I smiled at him back, and little lights went on in his eyes and he put his leg upon the edge of the box, ready to jump and come with us.

I said Miki that we must take him with us. But Miki said that we cannot rescue all the bears of the world. I said he was not a normal bear, he was family, but Miki kept saying no. And anyway the shop was closed!

And we walked away. It broke my heart! I swear, it was the worst day of my life!

We are back home now, and I am thinking everyday of that little bear in his suitcase. If he cannot have a family, I thought at least I can give him a beautiful name, one of these really long, posh French names:
"Jacques de St-Antonin-Noble-Val".
"Jacques" in honour of my Grand Mother's best friend, who was born there.

I am thinking too that I should perhaps start a fundraiser action, to gather money to go and get him. It is very modern nowadays and it seems to work! But Miki does not want, she says it is like begging, and she does not like that! I am so sad!

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

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.

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.

In her art, she ceaselessly seeks equilibrium, a delicate balance found only in continuous movement, in the enigmatic realms of the mysterious and the unknown. Her life unfolds as a narrative woven between two profound passions: mathematics and painting. The former, a supreme form of abstract art, governs her universe, dictating the rules of her cosmic journey. The latter emerges as a means of crystallizing the beauty inherent in that mathematical art, capturing its essence on the canvas of her imagination.

Miki De Goodaboom's art transcends geographical boundaries, and her paintings serve as universal expressions that resonate with viewers worldwide. Her unique ability to encapsulate the essence of her passions within her art makes each piece a testament to the intricate tapestry of her life - a life painted with strokes of creativity, mathematical precision, and an unwavering commitment to capturing the profound beauty found in the harmonious interplay of shapes and colors. Her works, a manifestation of her vibrant life, have found eager audiences and appreciative buyers across the world.
