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.

Jialba, “José Ignacio Alvarez Baranga”
Born in Galicia, Spain 1961

Self-taught creator in perpetual learning, my research is akin to a quest for identity. To do this, I created a series of imaginary artists who question themselves and share their perceptions. Starting from these multiple “pseudos” born from my first and last names, I have divided my personality like a contemporary Osiris and each part seeks its complement to express its true nature.
These “pseudos”, will they end by meeting each other?
Will they give meaning to their creations?

My multidisciplinary experience takes me from pencil to paper, from tablet to screen, from brush to canvas, from book to writing and heart to work. Every day is a miracle that reveals to me the meaning of this quest for identity.
This journey is a game of expressions, a kind of alienation where the adversary is none other than oneself. Finally, I never stop expressing this being who emerges liberated by his inescapable need to believe as he breathes, convinced of being linked by everything and by everyone.

Digital works are a important part of this work. I assemble my paintings in progress with my photographic works and the result, coming from the unconscious, in multiple layers, is penetrated by a light then revealing the new composition.

A work conceals a multitude of other works, this is how the practice of painting, photography followed by computer graphics, allows me, like an x-ray, to extract the invisible layers. I do not use what we call “artificial intelligence”, I want to preserve this natural intelligence which ensures my conscious use of digital, as a tool of expression throughout the creative process.

In these creations, I love the moment of the journey between reality and spirituality, where dreams are born that encourage encounters with the Soul of the world.
