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 this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Fauvism

Born in 1905 in Paris, this movement bring together many artists who shared a radical practice of color. The painting by Henri Matisse (1869-1954), The woman with the hat, noticed at the autumn salon is one of the outstanding works of this movement. Artists like Maurice de Vlaminck (1876-1958), Raoul Dufy (1877-1947) and Georges Braque (1882-1963) mark this movement.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

I established as an artist studying at Belgrade University of Arts, Serbia, where a good, traditional approach to figurative painting was nurtured as a foundation for any further course of development. My art journey led me towards abstract art during my studies, when I did a series of bigger paintings inspired by my sister Tatiana Grecic's composition "Dolphin variations" for piano. Most of the paintings I did over the years had an Abstract etiquette, but were always based on elements from reality that appeared as fragments and symbols, more or less visible. I speak through colour to express my intimate thoughts. It is always my personal experience and emotion that is a source of ideas for my next work.
I obtained the MFA degree in painting from the University of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 1999. I am a member of The Serbian Fine Artists Association (ULUS), since 1994. Since 1989 I took part in many solo and group exhibitions both in Serbia, UK and Europe. I was an artist in residence at the "Cite Internationale des Arts", Paris, France, in 2000.
I now live and work in West Wales, UK.
"Every blade of grass, leaf, rock or water flowing, carries vibration of feelings, memories, love in the broadest sense, a link with the past and ancestors, a glimmer of a distant time events in the cosmos, a hint of eternity. Listening to the voice of internal intuition, my paintings are searching for those feelings, the myths of the past, once lived moment in space and time, and are looking for a connection between pre-state and the moment in which they arise. My tendency is not to impose my own sensation of experienced in this process, but to encourage the contemplation and bring the viewer into the picture as a participant in the creative process, so that the image lives on and continues to develop in the eye of the beholder. Nature, whether it's an organic or non-organic world, in itself leads to contemplation. And there, in that inner world, the thoughtfulness that has no use for practical implementation, ultimately leads to creation."
