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.

France

Hélène Mongin is a visual artist who lives and works in Haute-Garonne. She graduated from the Ecoles Supérieures d'Arts Appliqués Boulle and Duperré (BTS textile art), and obtained a degree in plastic arts from [...]

Hélène Mongin experiments and practices different artistic mediums, including drawing and ink for her recent "imperceptible landscapes", monotype and engraving, as well as digital photography which she mixes with inks and various natural and chemical products since 2006. .

His artistic work questions the space and time of the image, as well as that of the subject, with a recurring mise en abyme. She is inspired by her living environment and atmospheric phenomena such as twilight lights, clouds, storms, etc. She approaches the landscape as well as the portrait as motifs, in painting as in photography.

Hélène Mongin uses multiple simultaneous points of view to give a representation on several different scales at the same time. His artistic approach is marked by a constant research on the perception of the image and its relation to space-time.
