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.

Hailing from the vibrant cityscape of Barcelona but now a resident of Japan, I've long been captivated by the pulsating energy of bustling crowds, an enduring muse for my artistic endeavors. The vivacious streets of Japan, alive with ceaseless activity, serve as an unending wellspring of creative inspiration. In this particular masterpiece, I endeavored to immortalize the spirited essence of Akihabara, Tokyo's iconic electronic epicenter, renowned for its labyrinthine array of electronics and components shops.

Crafted digitally on a sleek tablet canvas, this artwork embodies the graceful fluidity and spontaneous charm reminiscent of traditional watercolor techniques. Translated onto archival art paper through the meticulous giclée printing process, the piece emerges resplendent with intricate detailing and vibrant hues, faithfully preserving the very soul of its original conception. Limited to an exclusive edition of 23 prints, each bears the distinctive signature of the artist, thereby affirming its authenticity and ensuring its status as a coveted collector's item.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

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.

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.

My name is Orlando, I was born and I live in Paris.
After pursuing studies in law and political science and making many trips abroad I finally decided to turn to writing and drawing.
I have always been interested in art and my love for the details of the visual Japanese culture, including the japanese prints has surely contributed to this choice of starting drawing.

It's been 11 years since I started this self-taught adventure. Influenced by Japan, where I have often stayed and by writing, my drawing can be read as a line after line work, a description of the simplicity and the ordinary of everyday life.

I love drawing from photos I take during my trips. I love the powerful or subtle lines of black ink heighten by watercolor to insuflate life to my subjects. I also sometimes prefer the quiet elegance of black and white and grey tones. But always my work is about detail.

I have a great preference for paper which is the main medium I use in my work. I have an absolute love for the subtlety of his touch and the incomparable precision he allows. I draw with a black felt or using Indian ink and for the color I use what is called the technique of dry watercolor.

The paintings and drawings exposed on this website are for sale so feel free to contact me if you are interested and would like to receive more detailed views before making your choice.

Hoping you will enjoy my work, thank you for taking a tour here.
