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.

A quel moment décide-t-on de se faire tatouer pour la première fois ? Est-ce un acte mûrement réfléchi ou au contraire impulsif ? De l’un à l’autre, le passage à l’acte est toujours un moment particulier pour celui qui porte le tatouage. Le contexte prime plus que le reste. Le premier tatouage correspond souvent à un moment particulier de la vie, un passage, une étape, proche d’un rite et ceci bien au-delà du sens du tatouage lui-même

Lorsqu’Aurélie est partie seule en voyage pour la première fois au Costa Rica, c’était pour faire le point sur sa vie, une occasion de tourner la page sur ses histoires récentes. Livrée à elle-même, ne parlant pas la langue, elle a pu éprouver ses propres limites et révéler sa nature profonde. Le voyage a été pour elle l’élément déclencheur, la direction à prendre pour poursuivre l’histoire de sa vie. Le voyage est aujourd’hui au centre de sa vie : elle construit son histoire page après page, destination après destination. Le Costa Rica et ses « pura vida » lancés par ses habitants, resteront à jamais un moment gravé dans sa mémoire et dans sa peau.

Son tatoueur : Sophie Haza

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Hyperrealism

Painting which expresses, by means of representation, external reality in a very realistic way.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

Born in Marseille, I am a self-taught artist. Part of my apprenticeship nevertheless took place through meetings and exchanges with a few artists from the Rhône-Alpes region where we were living with my parents. During this period I did all kinds of experiments and learned several techniques, from oil painting to pastel and even modeling. Many attempts before finally returning a few years later to the techniques of my childhood: gouache, watercolor and mainly pencil.

My work is autobiographical, it is inspired by my daily life, my experiences, my questions; It is the reflection of these captured moments that remain frozen in my memory. Through my encounters, I sometimes become the vehicle for expressing the emotions of others that I try to transcribe as well as possible in my paintings. My works then become the fruit of sharing.

When the image is in memory, everything then consists of best transcribing the atmosphere that emanates from the moment: removing certain contours, interpreting the light to keep only the essentials. Because in the end all the challenge is there, to get as close as possible to the original emotion. A research that is based on elements that may seem contradictory: where my technique consists of a realistic rendering, or at least to transcribe a certain reality, it must express the impalpable.
