Original Artwork Painting, Acrylic on Canvas

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.

Riccardo Vitiello, a contemporary Italian painter, was born in 1974 in Livorno, Tuscany, Italy. Having previously delved into video art and abstract photography, Vitiello now exclusively dedicates himself to acrylics on canvas or paper.

His creative process often begins with sketches on paper, viewing free drawing as a therapeutic exercise. With no predetermined outcome in mind, he allows his intuition to guide him. As he progresses, recognizable elements emerge, forming a context that propels him forward until the final result crystallizes. Many of these initial sketches evolve into fully realized paintings.

While Vitiello finds solace in the structure of sketches, he also embraces the freedom of painting directly onto canvas. This approach grants him the liberty to experiment with shapes and colors, allowing his creativity to flow until he senses completion.

One of the defining motifs in Vitiello's oeuvre is "Crowding," where real and imagined figures converge and overlap, blurring the boundaries between them. He rejects the notion of singular perspectives, believing them to be limiting. Instead, his compositions reflect a communal viewpoint, capturing the essence of a collective consciousness. Through his distinctive approach, Vitiello invites viewers to explore the interconnectedness of beings and the richness of shared experiences within his art.
