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.

The Winner: Esta escultura es una recreación de un símbolo clave de las grandes religiones de la humanidad a lo largo de la historia; un símbolo que demarca el nacimiento del sacrificio simbólico y, simultáneamente, su disrupción.
El cordero está presente en el sacrificio del hijo de Abraham, pero no es la primera vez que se presenta, pues ha estado presente como metáfora de gran trascendencia de la obediencia, la constancia, el sacrificio y la resurrección desde el Arte Paleocristiano. En la actualidad, el cordero aparece en la liturgia judía, el “Eid Al Adha” musulmán, como base para rituales cristianos, y también en algunos mantras hindúes como el “Upanishad”. “The Winner” está sostenido por un vínculo ferroviario desde Nueva York hasta Key West construido por Flagler en 1892, que eventualmente llegaría a La Habana.
Esta escultura es una metáfora de la constancia de reinventarse y de las actitudes que hacen posibles grandes cambios.

Fermin Fleites, a visual memory of memories, interspersed with symbols.
Discover a vision of Art, from the perspective of Cultural Anthropology, from the barbarism of Culture itself. A journey of discovery that began in a forgotten place in the Insular Caribbean, passing through the Peruvian Amazon, to reach the Crucible of today's America.In the plastic work of this author, you can find experiences of interaction with different cultural groups, with the estrangement of the visitor who arrives, and with the difficulty of the child who does not know how to read and is locked in a library where all the books tell a story and You must find out what story it is. Because in the end all stories are the same story.With a deep respect for “techne”, bronze, photography, drawing, wood sculpture, charcoal and mixed media. Fleites is accustomed to drawing everything, perhaps inspired by the Andean shamans who resist being photographed because that stops them and instead they feel more comfortable being drawn.Fermin Fleites has the ability to bring together seemingly unconnected visual styles into an “ordered chaos” that makes us jump from classical Greek and German Renaissance images to more contemporary art forms, such as installations or conceptual art. In the process, his knowledgeable eye directs us to popular products and images associated with magical symbols, rituals, and beliefs practiced over time.Imagine a world where we all have the same problems, but we call them differently. Imagine, thousands of people calling the same God by different names and performing acts in his honor. Imagine having the same concerns as the ancient inhabitants of Ethiopia or the current Machiguengas of the Urubamba River basin. Welcome to the world we live in. A world in which the same stories are recovered again and again, intertwining. No matter how much Artificial Intelligence we are training, at the center of this human is that same human who asked the Sun for better harvests.We start from an original time where the past and the future are just nuances of a continuous present that is nowhere. Be part of a Human experience.
