Original Artwork Painting, Acrylic

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.

About Victoria’s Creative Process

Victoria's conceptual mixture of realism and fantasy in her painting practice was shaped by the ‘trompe l’oeil’ influence mastered during her many years of mural painting.

Her two primary choices of medium are acrylic and encaustic.

"I paint surrealistic narratives in my artwork by using realistic subject matter in fantastical situations. These narratives are played out in urban or natural landscapes, fairground settings, residential interiors, etc., in other words, anywhere and everywhere I am struck with creative inspiration.

I take great delight in seeing the covertly interjected humour and messages I’ve put into my artworks 'discovered' by the viewer."

She cites René Magritte, Frida Kahlo, Emily Carr, Georgia O'Keeffe, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Diego Rivera, and several of the French Impressionists as her greatest influences.
