So here is the final verdict on your preferences in art:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Style: primitivism <\/strong><\/p>\n

Genre: still life<\/strong><\/p>\n

A primitivist artist rules out the clich\u00e9s and the influence of the centuries of academic art that prevent him from understanding and representing the world in a sincere, unbiased manner, as seen by a child<\/strong>, ancient or tribal people who have not yet fell victim to the distorting influence of civilization.<\/p>\n

This stylization that provides primitivist paintings with the look of children\u2019s, primitive or folk art is achieved by simplification of forms, using pure colours, breaking the linear perspective principles and a peculiar choice of subject. The things found in primitivist still lifes look mysterious and familiar, they seem to tell a story. A wardrobe may be symbolic of wealthiness in realism, it may look an obsolete tumble-down with romanticists, or a canvas for the sun beams play with impressionists. With primitivists it will be a solid monumental figure, with no refined details, but taken in with the background and the surrounding objects it will remind you of your granny, of the way summer smells and fresh linen feels, of the hide-and-seek hoopla in your childhood and of the treats your mom hid there for Christmas. Primitive people and children do not perceive themselves separately from the environment, they don\u2019t have a sense of self, and therefore the objects in the interior are as exciting, living and morally signidicant for them as people. This is what makes primitivist still lifes so mysteriously familiar and appealing.<\/div>

A person who chooses primitivist still lifes is a new breed \u2013 \u201chomo felix\u201d<\/strong> (homo happinus, so to say:). He likes to be surrounded by beautiful people and things, and unlike people who do the same driven by public image and showing off, he truly realizes that life is short and consists of millions of fleeting moments and joyful things \u2013 not a couple of life-changing events. This person woke up to the fact that happiness is the ability to enjoy what you have – not to elbow your way to something everybody will be envious of. He appreciates his experience and the background of people around him. He cherishes his past and tends to be nostalgic, but is ready to forge his future with great optimism.<\/p>\n
