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.

José Luis Olivares Mazón

Spain

Born in Madrid, Spain in 1963. He currently resides in the sierra of Madrid in San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

José Luis Olivares specializes in Engraving at the School of Applied Arts in Madrid and extended his studies with the German artist and master engraver Eberhard Scholter in Altea, Alicante. He studied painting at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid with the painter José Hernández.

In 1987 he traveled to Central America and in Guatemala he made his first exhibitions and was greatly influenced by the nature and biodiversity environment of the area, this will have a great impact on his later work as an artist. Back in Spain, he worked as a painting and drawing monitor at the García Lorca Cultural Center in Madrid, where he held several exhibitions.

He set up his own engraving and printing studio for bibliophiles in Madrid. He emphasizes his work of technical supervision and stamping of engravings of the artists Oswaldo Guayasamín, Daniel Merino and Manuel Muñoz Barberán. Olivares worked illuminating old engravings and restoring them to antiquarian booksellers in Madrid. Among his works as a stamper stands out the one he made for the publishing house Liber, where he illuminates by hand the technique of Pochoir - stencilled the facsimile of the Botany of the French naturalist Lamarck of the eighteenth century on the theory of evolution of the species. This theme will greatly influence your artwork.

"... I needed to evade myself, to reproduce my inner world and to discover a new language that would shape my dreams and concerns ..." José Luis Olivares describes his beginnings in painting. This dreamlike mood has persisted over the years in his work.

He is a figurative artist where the symbology of his work is based on integrating the earth, water, the sky with the animal world and the biodiversity in an interior space and in a magical realism that navigates between the Naif art and the surrealism.

José Luis Olivares has exhibited his work in important galleries in Spain and Central America.
