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.

I produce all of my artworks in hotshops and small workshops in North Bohemia, which is one of the last regions in the world where the tradition of hand blowing and glass making of the highest quality is preserved since the Middle Ages and is newly part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2023.

The inner shape, which was created by a special technique of pouring liquid silver into a double walled glass, is surrounded by a broken shell of the external opaque vase. The exterior shapes were painted with contemporary portraits of people we meet every day - laughing, blowing a bubble-gum bubbles, swimming, sending a kiss... I broke these painted shapes with a hammer to achieve the fragmentation. This effect makes a penetration of the painted parts with the reflection of reality possible. The blending of two layers of time happens.
Glass painting is a technically demanding technique different from painting on canvas, it is about precision. I wanted to combine precision with a drastic gesture of breaking the painting after being painted many days and fired in a kiln. Breaking resembles a gesture of action painting and is very unusual for glass as a material.

Each piece of the Narcissus collection was created in a unique vase color combination and each painted motif exists also only once.

Marieta Tedenacová is a contemporary French-Czech multidisciplinary designer based in the Czech Republic, whose work transcends the boundaries between art and design. Having exhibited both nationally and internationally, she actively participates in numerous world design fairs annually. Tedenacová's unique products are meticulously handcrafted in the Czech Republic, presented in limited collection series, ensuring each piece's individuality.

She earned her MA in Glass from the Academy of Art Architecture and Design in Prague, concurrently pursuing studies in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Tedenacová further enriched her skills through a study internship in the Glass studio at the Rhode Island School of Design.

All of Tedenacová's creations emerge from hotshops and small workshops in North Bohemia, a region proudly upholding the tradition of hand blowing and high-quality glassmaking since the Middle Ages, now acknowledged as part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2023.

Initially delving into design with a focus on glass and transparent materials, Tedenacová's exploration led her to optics and the associated natural phenomena that envelop our surroundings. Her designs intricately fuse elements of craftsmanship, science, and technology, reflecting a unique and captivating perspective in the world of contemporary design.
